Corrado & Weinberg Demand More from Labor Department
TRENTON – A year into the COVID pandemic, frustrations with the performance of the Department of Labor persist, and Senators Kristin Corrado and Loretta Weinberg wrote to Commissioner Rob Asaro-Angelo urging immediate changes to improve the department’s responsiveness to desperate residents who have lost their jobs.
“The ongoing situation is a travesty,” said Corrado (R-Bergen, Essex, Morris and Passaic). “This far into the pandemic, and hard-working New Jersey residents cannot get their checks, cannot get answers, and cannot even speak with people who may be able to help. I am joining with Sen. Weinberg and calling on the commissioner to clean up this mess now.”
The thousands of New Jersey workers still unable to resolve problems filing an unemployment claim amid the COVID-19 pandemic face delayed payments of their benefits, which can trigger a cascade of long-lasting, wide-reaching consequences.
They face the threat of eviction, and the stain of court records that can follow them as they search for a new home. Medical bills mount. Credit scores worsen. Debt compounds.
Even when they finally receive the unemployment payments they are waiting for, the damage done could be difficult to undo.
The problems New Jerseyans have experienced with the state Department of Labor and the unemployment system during the pandemic vary widely. Some workers abruptly stopped seeing checks. Others never moved from a pending status or haven t had an interview scheduled to determine whether they are eligible for jobless benefits. Some are waiting for agents to backdate their claims.

Good Monday morning!
Today was to be the deadline for weed negotiations, with a quorum forcing Gov. Murphy to take action on the legislation on his desk. But Speaker Coughlin on Friday delayed the quorum, giving the Murphy administration and Legislature more time to quibble over details about how to deal with underage users that continue to delay the implementation of weed legalization, despite the fact that 67 percent of New Jersey voters approved it.
