Overview
This bill directs the state of New Jersey to use $200 million in federal funds to upgrade the technology used by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for its unemployment insurance program. The funds are intended to improve the system’s infrastructure, particularly in response to the significant increase in unemployment claims during the COVID-19 pandemic. If federal funds are unavailable, the state will draw from a specific fund to cover these improvements. The Department of Labor is required to submit a plan detailing how these funds will be spent.
