Section 12:17-9.6 - Voluntary leaving work - trailing spouse or civil union partner

(a) No otherwise eligible individual shall be denied benefits for any week in which the individual left work voluntarily and without good cause attributable to the work, if the individual left work to accompany his or her spouse or civil union partner who is an active member of the United States Armed Forces, as defined in 38A:1-1(g), to a new place of residence outside the State, due to the armed forces member's transfer to a new assignment in a different geographical location outside the State, provided that the following requirements are also met:

1. The otherwise eligible individual moves to the new place of residence not more than nine months after the spouse or civil union partner is transferred; and

2. Upon arrival at the new place of residence, the otherwise eligible individual is in all respects available for suitable work.

(b) No employer's account shall be charged for the payment of benefits to an individual who left work under the circumstances set forth in (a) above, except that this shall not be construed as relieving the State of New Jersey and any other governmental entity or instrumentality or nonprofit organization electing or required to make payments in lieu of contributions from its responsibility to make all benefit payments otherwise required by law and from being charged for those benefits as otherwise required by law.
