S 2458 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOLWD to allow individuals to schedule unemployment service appointments at One Stop Career Centers via telephone or Internet.

S 2458 requires New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to allow individuals to schedule unemployment benefits appointments at One Stop Career Centers by phone or online, rather than only online as currently required. The bill defines an "unemployment service appointment" as a meeting specifically for applying for or receiving unemployment benefits. This change adds phone scheduling as a new option, making it easier for job seekers and unemployment claimants to set up appointments without needing internet access. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
