Phase 2 Non-Aligned Rutgers Shared Work Furlough Program for Previous Participants

This information is for non-aligned employees who participated in Phase 1 of the Non-Aligned Rutgers Shared Work Furlough Program in July 2020 and filed an associated Unemployment claim.

Employees who participated in Phase 1 of the Program in July 2020 and filed an associated Unemployment claim do not need to reopen or verify their Unemployment Insurance claims. The NJDOL will reopen all claims for previous Phase 1 participants who filed an unemployment application. Should additional action be required on your part, UHR or the NJDOL will send a subsequent communication.

Reminder:
  • All Non-Aligned Shared Work Furlough Program participants must commence the Program on the week of January 24 and take one furlough day per week until they have completed the total number of furlough days assigned.
  • IMPORTANT: IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AN UNRESOLVED OR UNPAID CLAIM WITH THE NJDOL AS IT RELATES TO A PREVIOUS RUTGERS SHARED WORK FURLOUGH PROGRAM, please contact OneSource.

** Very Important Additional Information from the NJDOL**
  • Regardless of any communication you may receive, you will NOT be certifying online or by telephone during the Shared Work Furlough Program. Only the claim application needs to be filed. You may receive general information emails about how to certify for Unemployment benefits, but that is informational to anyone who has filed a claim. Do not use the Web application or Telephone IVR System to certify for weekly benefits while in the Shared Work program. Benefits will be paid by NJDOL using the application/information that has been supplied. Certifying will cause Unemployment errors and payment delays so please DO NOT CERTIFY.
  • Due to the number of the unemployment claims being filed and processed, state unemployment benefits may be delayed.
Supplemental $300 Weekly Benefit
  • A COVID-19 relief package was passed into law on December 27, 2020 and among other pandemic relief measures, will provide an additional $300 per week in federal funding for enhanced unemployment benefits through the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program for the weeks of December 26, 2020 to March 14, 2021.
  • The timing of Phase 2 of the Non-Aligned Program coincides with the FPUC program so that eligible participants will receive the supplemental $300 weekly benefit throughout the entire Shared Work Furlough Program.
  • You do not need to certify weekly to receive the $300/week. Your Unemployment Insurance application will initiate the $300.
  • It is important to note that the $300 stimulus is a separate payment, there may be delays in receiving the payment, but all payments will be retroactive payments to the start of the program.
