In order to file for New Jersey Unemployment there are certain criteria that you must meet.
You must have been working and meet certain income guidelines. Those guidelines are spelled out for you on the New Jersey unemployment website which is located at http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/ui/aftrfile/exbenefits.html
Each state has its own method of filing for Unemployment compensation. Primarily in New Jersey, the best method of filing will be via the web site, where you may open a new claim, as well as file for your extensions.
You may also file by telephone, however given the higher unemployment and the higher call volumes the unemployment offices warn that you will be likely to experience wait times in excess of 15-20 minutes at times and that filing via their web site is preferable. If you are unable to access the web site from home, the unemployment office does offer you computers to use that will permit you to file from there.
Filing for New Jersey unemployment by telephone is done by using one of the numbers provided for you below:
Reemployment Call Center at (732) 761-2020.
Reemployment Call Center at (201) 601-4100.
Reemployment Call Center at (856) 507-2340
Due to higher recent call volumes the New Jersey unemployment office has restricted calls for Monday through Wednesday as follows:
The days to file or reopen a claim for benefits are based on the last digit of your Social Security Number (SSN).
Last digit of SSN is 0 – 3 call on Monday.
Last digit of SSN is 4 – 6 call on Tuesday.
Last digit of SSN is 7 – 9 call on Wednesday.
When you telephone or if you file via the internet at the url listed below:

Legal Address
This will greatly speed the process of application for New Jersey Unemployment.
