A 4415 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits for crossing guards.

This bill clarifies that adult school crossing guards in New Jersey must receive written notice by May 15 if their appointment will not be renewed to qualify for unemployment benefits during the gap between school terms or school holidays. Without this notice (meaning they were not informed of non-renewal and expected reappointment), they are ineligible for benefits during those periods. The bill maintains existing requirements for crossing guards, such as residency, health, and good moral character. It does not change other unemployment benefit rules but specifically adjusts eligibility for this group of seasonal workers.
