S 348 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits public disclosure of names and addresses in certain unemployment, temporary disability, and family leave claim appeals documents.

S 348 prohibits public disclosure of personal identifying information - including names, addresses, and contact details - in appeals documents related to unemployment, temporary disability, and family leave claims. The bill amends New Jersey's public records laws to make this information confidential, directly protecting individuals who file such claims. Key provisions require government agencies to redact or withhold these details from public access in claim appeals. This policy change applies specifically to appeals processed under unemployment, disability, and family leave programs. The bill does not alter eligibility rules or benefit amounts, only restricting public access to personal identifiers in related documents.
