No. Couldn't even certify. My best guess is we'll be able to certify at midnight.
You can check, of course, but it is likely that your employer paid their unemployment compensation payments into the NY state unemployment pool and NOT the NJ pool.

It is illegal to collect unemployment benefits while employed in NYS.
Yes and No. Depends on certain factors. But, yes you can file a claim. Call NYS AWFI.
If the question is . . how much unemployment money do you have to steal before going to jail . . . then the answer is ANYamount is an unlawful/illegal amount. Unemployment compensation comes from the taxes paid by everone else. When you commit fraud to receive unenmployment (or ANY other form of welfare) you are committing theft against ALL taxpayers (i.e.: "The State").
Of course you can collect.
You will need to report the income earned to the unemployment bureau. They will likely reduce your benefits by that amount. So, if you earned $100 your unemployment check for that week will be $100 less. Failure to report the income can result in criminal prosecution for fraud.
If you get caught, you can count on it.
Today 11/21/2008 it was on channel 4 NBC news that President Bush has signed the extension for unemployment extended benefits. Meaning that there will be 7 additional weeks and 13 additional weeks for the state that has over 7 percent increase in unemployment.
if on nys unemployment, if sick, should you say no work that week and say workman's comp?
Just an FYI: When there's any change in status, you should contact the NYS unemployment ins. agency. Their number is listed on their website. While SSDI is not a financial-need program, it assumes you are considered disabled enough not to either work or continue doing what you used to do when you collect it. In my situation, SSDI encouraged me to continue applying for jobs (I did) while I waited to be approved. However, once approved I notified NYS U.I. and they've requested I fill out a questionnaire/form describing why I can continue collecting unemployment while collecting SSDI. If you do not call them, they may ask to be paid back. If I can continue to collect U.I. (pending their review), I will notify SSDI of the payments I'm receiving. Unemployment insurance is generally based on State law. However, you can apply for and collect unemployment insurance benefits because SSDI is not a financial-need-based program, while unemployment is. Therefore your SSDI should not affect your eligibility for unemployment benefits in New York.
