How to Get an Online Statement From Unemployment in New Jersey

Verification of income is one of the reasons that a person receiving unemployment in New Jersey can have for wanting to see a statement. If you are applying for financial assistance, a loan or declaring bankruptcy, you typically must show proof of income. Employed persons can show pay sheets or a printout from their employers. If unemployment is your only income and the state deposits the money into your account, you may not have your statements available when you need them. New Jersey makes statements available on the Internet to anyone with an account.

If you filed your original claim using the website, you created an account when you filed and should use the same username and password you entered then. If you did not, create an account by entering your name, address, Social Security number and choosing a password.
