Hello Everyone.
I am in New Jersey. I lost my job at the end of last year and started receiving unemployment benefit in January until March 1st. Then I had a three months contract work from 03/02/2020 to 06/05/2020.
Recently I have tried to re-open my claim per instruction to claim the unemployment benefit from 06/06/2020 and forward, but no luck.
This site allows you to file or reopen an existing Unemployment Insurance claim
https://uiclaim.dol.state.nj.us/njsu...AClaimHome.htm. After clicking on "File A Claim" button, I got the following message
You cannot continue to file for Unemployment Insurance at this stage.
•Your application could not be processed because you may already have an existing claim.
I have sent message through the unemployment web site regarding to issue to re-open my claim, but no response. The local office listed on the unemployment web site also closed since Match. I have tried to call the phone numbers listed on the web site multiple days. The voice message always says "Due to the high volume of the calls ..., please call back the next day".
