Section 12:17-17.4 - Payment of disability benefits during unemployment for individuals working for exempt employers

(a) This section provides that weeks and wages earned by an individual employed by an employer that is not covered under the Temporary Disability Benefits Law, 43:21-25 et seq., out-of-State or by the Federal government, shall be excluded from benefit calculations under the Disability During Unemployment Program.

(b) Where an individual becomes ill or disabled and his or her most recent employing unit was not an employer covered by the Temporary Disability Benefits Law, disability benefits during unemployment shall be paid to the individual under 43:21-4(f), provided he or she has sufficient weeks and wages as a covered individual during the base year to establish a valid claim and is otherwise eligible.

(c) A claim for disability benefits during unemployment which was previously established as a valid unemployment claim based wholly or in part on wages from employment that is not with a covered employer shall be redetermined. Eligibility for disability benefits during unemployment shall be based solely on wages earned as a covered individual during the base year to establish a valid claim for benefits.
