Unemployment Assistance

Do you need to apply for unemployment insurance? The Social Work Team hosts Unemployment Insurance Assistance every Thursday, where we can help you apply for unemployment, certify for unemployment, or check on the status of your claims. Our Social Work Interns can connect you to other local services for further assistance, if necessary.

We can also provide information about Workers Rights, including Earned Sick Leave benefits, for all New Jersey workers. Ask us any questions! This program is made possible by a New Jersey Department of Labor CARE Grant.
