Completing BC-10 Form for Employee Unemployment Benefits
The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development mandates that all employers, including Rutgers, issue Form BC-10 (Instructions for Claiming Unemployment Benefits) to employees who are separated from employment. In the past, the state did not require employers to give Form BC-10 to employees who were laid off for fewer than seven days. However, as a result of recent state legislation (L. 2011, c. 87), Form BC-10 must be given to any employee who becomes unemployed for any reason, whether the unemployment is permanent or temporary. The new law also requires that employers provide separated workers with the following additional information on Form BC-10:
- Date the worker becomes unemployed.
- Recall date, in cases where the employment separation is temporary.
- Notification that the employee may lose some or all benefits if a claim is not filed in a timely manner.
All sections of the form must be completed and provided to the employee. If you have additional questions regarding a BC-10 form, please contact the OneSource Service Center at 732-745-SERV (7378).
