Section 12:17-16.4 - Reporting requirements for interstate benefit claims

(a) Claims for benefits or waiting periods shall be filed by interstate claimants on uniform interstate claim forms or by telephone and in accordance with uniform procedures developed pursuant to the Interstate Benefit Payment Plan. Claims shall be dated in accordance with the agent state's definition of week of the agent state. Any adjustments required to fit the type of week used by the liable state shall be made by the liable state on the basis of consecutive claims filed.

(b) Claims shall be filed in accordance with agent state regulations for intrastate claims in employment service offices, or at an itinerant point, by mail or by telephone.

(c) With respect to claims for weeks of unemployment in which an individual was not working for his or her regular employer, the liable state shall, under circumstances which it considers good cause, accept a continued claim which is filed late. If a claimant files more than one reporting period late without "good cause" as defined under 12:17-4.1(b), an initial claim must be used to begin a claim series and no continued claim for a past period shall be accepted.

(d) With respect to weeks of unemployment during which an individual is attached to his or her regular employer, the liable state shall accept any claim which is filed within the time period applicable to such claims under the law of the agent state.
