How to Report New Jersey Unemployment Fraud
IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO WORK WHILE YOU ARE COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
If you want to know how to report unemployment fraud, you must first be sure that someone is committing unemployment fraud. In the state of New Jersey it is a crime to knowingly collect unemployment benefits that you are not eligible to receive, and this is considered unemployment fraud. BUT, it is very important to note that IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO WORK WHILE YOU ARE COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
You may be able to work at a job and make a certain amount of money while still collecting unemployment benefits. When you apply for unemployment, this amount will be determined, and how this works will be explained to you by your unemployment counselor.
If you do work while you are collecting unemployment benefits, it is VERY important that you follow the rules given to you by your unemployment counselor, which includes reporting where you work, how much you make every week, etc.
If you suspect someone of committing unemployment fraud, you can contact the unemployment office to report them. You may be able to remain anonymous, or you may have to give your name and contact information to report them.
When you make your report, be sure to give as much detailed information as possible, including the following:
- Their name
- Their address
- Their phone number
- Where they are working
- How much money they're making
If you know that someone is committing unemployment fraud, you can report them by contacting your local unemployment office.

he claimed unemployment by stating that his old job did not treat him well and failed to pay him on unearned commissions, he never complained about his salary, he was awarded the unemployment based on his statement that he was not paid some commission, once again he quit, he was not fired, he was paid his weekly check, the person who heard the case that worked for the state did not care that this worker had stolen or started his own company,what is wrong with this picture?
