Q. May I file a claim if my employer is located out of state?
A. Yes, you may file a claim. If the employer has a New Jersey location or agent, then the case will be handled through the normal processes. If the employer does not have a New Jersey location or an agent the Division will informally attempt to resolve the claim. However, the Division does not have jurisdiction over employers in other states so if the employer refuses to cooperate the Division cannot take any further action.
