All bonds or refunding bonds issued by the authority are deemed to be issued by a body corporate and politic of the State for an essential governmental purpose, and the interest thereon and the income derived from all funds, revenues, incomes and other moneys received for or to be received by the authority and pledged and available to pay or secure the payment on bonds or refunding bonds and the interest thereon, shall be exempt from all taxes levied pursuant to the provisions of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes or Title 54A of the New Jersey Statutes, except for transfer inheritance and estate taxes levied pursuant to Subtitle 5 of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes. i. The State hereby pledges and covenants with the holders of any bonds or refunding bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this act, that it will not limit or alter the rights or powers vested in the authority by this act, nor limit or alter the rights or powers of the State Treasurer in any manner which would jeopardize the interest of the holders or any trustee of such holders, or inhibit or prevent performance or fulfillment by the authority or the State Treasurer with respect to the terms of any agreement made with the holders of these bonds or refunding bonds or agreements made pursuant to subsection c. of this section except that the failure of the Legislature to appropriate moneys for any purpose of this act shall not be deemed a violation of this section. j. Notwithstanding any restriction contained in any other law, rule, regulation or order to the contrary, the State and all political subdivisions of this State, their officers, boards, commissioners, departments or other agencies, all banks, bankers, trust companies, savings banks and institutions, building and loan associations, saving and loan associations, investment companies and other persons carrying on a banking or investment business, all insurance companies, insurance associations and other persons carrying on an insurance business, and all executors, administrators, guardians, trustees and other fiduciaries, and all other persons whatsoever who now are or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or other obligations of the State, may properly and legally invest any sinking funds, moneys or other funds, including capital, belonging to them or within their control, in any bonds or refunding bonds issued by the authority under the provisions of this act; and said bonds and refunding bonds are hereby made securities which may properly and legally be deposited with, and received by any State or municipal officers or agency of the State, for any purpose for which the deposit of bonds or other obligations of the State is now, or may hereafter be, authorized by law.

Permit required
Status: in_force

(a) Every employer must procure from the commissioner an employer's permit. Application for such permit shall list the names and addresses of home workers and shall be made on a form prescribed by the commissioner. Such permit shall be in writing, dated when issued, and signed by the commissioner. It shall give the name and address of the person to whom it is issued and shall designate and limit the acts that are permitted. Such permit shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of its issuance, unless sooner revoked, and shall not be transferable for any cause. (b) Such permit shall be issued or remain valid only where the employer (1) maintains a factory or business within this State or (2) operates through another employer possessing a valid permit and maintaining a factory or business within this State. A permit shall only be issued when the same conditions specified in section 6(b) of this act exist, prevail or are established. (c) No such permit shall be issued to or remain valid for any independent contractor to act for an employer unless such other employer or employers for whose direct or indirect benefit or account such independent contractor so acts possesses a valid employer's permit; nor shall any such permit be issued to any person, or to the successor in interest of any person, or to a person directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any person, whose employer's permit has been revoked by the commissioner within two years prior to the latest application for such permit. (d) No employer shall deliver or cause to be delivered any article or materials for industrial home work to an independent contractor who is not in possession of a valid employer's permit. (e) No employer shall deliver or cause to be delivered any article or materials for industrial home work unless (1) such an employer is in possession of a valid permit; (2) the home worker is in possession of a valid home worker's certificate where such article or materials are distributed to said home worker by employer; (3) where subsequent distribution is intended, such person is in possession of a valid permit. The commissioner may revoke any employer's permit for violation of this section. The employer shall also be subject to the penalties provided in this act for such violation. (f) Before any permit is granted to an employer to distribute industrial home work from a home, an inspection of home or room therein shall be made by the commissioner. If the commissioner ascertains that such home or room therein is in a clean and proper sanitary condition and that the articles or materials may be distributed for manufacturing purposes under clean and healthful conditions, the commissioner shall grant the permit and allow the use of such home or room therein for the purpose of distributing industrial home work. Every room in which industrial home work is distributed shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition and shall be subject to examination and inspection by the commissioner, local boards of health or tenement house inspection for the purpose of ascertaining whether said articles or materials are clean and free from vermin and every matter of infectious or contagious nature. (g) Any person holding a permit issued by the commissioner shall immediately report to the commissioner any case of infectious or contagious disease, of which the employer has knowledge, occurring in a place or home used for the distribution of industrial home work. If the commissioner, local board of health or tenement house inspector shall find evidence of infectious or contagious disease present in any home or room therein where industrial home work is distributed, the commissioner, local board of health, or tenement house inspector shall issue such orders as the public health may require and shall condemn and destroy such infectious and contagious goods.

Legislative findings
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds: a. During the past decade, a number of industrial plants and other facilities located in this State have permanently terminated operations or relocated operations to sites in other states or abroad; and, b. These terminations and relocations have had a serious and undesirable impact upon the economies of the communities in which they have occurred and upon the State as a whole, lowering the value of land and improvements which are abandoned or devoted to less intensive uses than formerly; reducing employment, business and personal income, and the resources of the State to the extent these depend thereon; and increasing claims upon those resources; and, c. Even more important than the impact of these closings on the general State economy and the public sector are the social and personal costs to working persons and their families of confronting the forbidding alternatives of, on the one hand, permanent unemployment, and on the other, either extensive mid-career retraining or forced relocation or both; and, d. In a small number of cases across the nation, employees have met the threat of plant shutdown by collectively establishing a stock ownership trust to purchase the facility in question and to continue its operations under the direction of a trusteeship acting on behalf of the employee owners; and, e. These trusts can serve to save jobs, continue economic development otherwise likely to be suspended and promote within the private enterprise system the goal or worker participation in the risks and rewards of equity ownership; and f. In view of the facts hereinabove cited, and further in view of the avowed public policy of the Executive and Legislative branches to preserve and expand manufacturing and other economic activity in the State, the Legislature finds that a high priority must be given by relevant State agencies to the provision of technical and administrative assistance to workers seeking to save jobs by forming employee stock ownership trusts.

No employer shall discharge or in any other manner discriminate against an employee because the employee has made an inquiry or complaint to his employer, to the commissioner or to his authorized representative regarding possible worker misclassification, or because the employee has caused to be instituted or is about to cause to be instituted any proceeding regarding worker misclassification under State wage, benefit and tax laws, or because the employee has testified in the proceeding. c. An employer who violates any provision of this section shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense and shall, upon conviction, be fined not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. In the case of a discharge or other discriminatory action in violation of this section, the employer shall also be required to offer reinstatement in employment to the discharged employee and to correct any discriminatory action, and to pay the employee all reasonable legal costs of the action, all wages and benefits lost as a result of the discharge or discriminatory action, plus punitive damages equal to two times the lost wages and benefits, under penalty of contempt proceedings for failure to comply with the requirement.

Findings, declarations relative to public works contractors.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. There is growing concern over the increasing number of construction industry workers on public works projects laboring under conditions which violate State labor laws and regulations concerning wages, unemployment and temporary disability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and the payment of payroll taxes; b. Contractors and subcontractors receiving the benefit of public tax dollars for their work should not be allowed to exploit their workers by denying them benefits and pay mandated by law; c. It is therefore necessary and proper for the Legislature to establish a registration system for contractors and subcontractors engaged in public works projects in order to better enforce existing labor laws and regulations in the public works industry.

5. a. (1) Every initial registration and subsequent annual reporting shall be accompanied by a financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and audited by an independent certified public accountant, which statement shall show a positive working capital, computed as current assets minus current liabilities. The financial statement shall be without qualification as to the going concern status of the employee leasing company. (2) At the time of an application for an initial registration an employee leasing company shall submit to the department an audited financial statement prepared within 13 months of the application. Thereafter, an employee leasing company shall file with the department on an annual basis, within 180 days of the end of the employee leasing company's fiscal year, a current audited financial statement. An employee leasing company may request the department for an extension for this filing, which shall be accompanied by a letter from the employee leasing company's independent certified public accountant stating the reasons for the requested extension and the anticipated date of the completion of the audited financial statement. b. (1) An employee leasing company that does not have a positive working capital may provide to the department, in lieu thereof, a bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or securities with a minimum market value equaling the amount necessary to achieve a positive working capital plus up to $100,000, such additional amount to be determined by the commissioner or his designee. The securities so deposited shall include authorizations to the commissioner, or his designee, to sell those securities in an amount sufficient to pay any taxes, wages, benefits or other entitlement due a covered employee, if the employee leasing company does not make those payments when due. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to an employee leasing company group registered pursuant to subsection e. of section 4 of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-70). (2) The commissioner, or his designee, may also require that bond or deposit if the commissioner finds that the leasing company has had its license or registration suspended, denied, or limited in any other jurisdiction; or that there have been instances in which the employee leasing company has not paid covered employees' wages or benefits when due, or failed to make timely payment of any federal or state payroll taxes or unemployment compensation contributions when due, or for other good cause. (3) Any bond or securities deposited under this subsection shall not be included for the purpose of the calculation of positive working capital required by subsection a. of this section. c. An employee leasing company shall submit to the commissioner, or his designee, within 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter, a certification by an independent certified public accountant that all applicable federal and state payroll taxes for covered employees in this State have been paid on a timely basis for that quarter. If the commissioner or his designee does not receive that certification within the 60-day period, the department shall notify the employee leasing company within five business days of the expiration of the 60-day period. If that certification is not received within 10 business days following the notification by the department, the department shall notify the client companies listed on the employee leasing company's annual report required pursuant to section 4 of this act that the certification was not received. d. Two or more employee leasing companies that are majority owned by the same ultimate parent company, entity or person may comply with the provisions of this section pursuant to subsection e. of section 4 of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-70). e. The department may adopt, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) rules and regulations to permit, to the extent authorized pursuant to the "Uniform Electronic Transactions Act," P.L.2001, c.116 (C.12A:12-1 et seq.), employee leasing companies to electronically file applications, documents, reports and other filings required by P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67 et seq.). The department may also adopt, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), rules to provide for the acceptance of electronic filings and other assurance by an assurance organization that provides satisfactory assurance of compliance acceptable to the department consistent with or in lieu of the requirements of section 4 of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-70) and of this section and other requirements of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67 et seq.) or the rules promulgated pursuant to it. The rules may permit an employee leasing company or an employee leasing company group to authorize an assurance organization to act on behalf of an employee leasing company or an employee leasing company group in complying with P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67 et seq.) and any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, including electronic filings of information and payment of fees that may be required. The rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this subsection may include, but need not be limited to, an identification of those other provisions of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67 et seq.) that may be complied with through an independent assurance organization. Use of an approved assurance organization shall be optional and not mandatory for an employee leasing company or an employee leasing company group. Nothing in this subsection shall limit or change the department's authority to register or rescind the registration of an employee leasing company or to investigate or enforce any provision of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67 et seq.).

58. a. Prior to March 1, 2029, for redevelopment projects eligible pursuant to section 57 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-325) for which a developer is seeking an incentive award for the redevelopment project, the developer shall submit an application to the authority and, in the case of a residential project, shall submit an application to the authority and the agency, in a form and manner prescribed in regulations adopted by the authority pursuant to section 67 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-335).

The authority shall review the project cost, evaluate and validate the project financing gap estimated by the developer, and conduct a State fiscal impact analysis to ensure that the overall public assistance provided to the project will result in a net positive benefit to the State, provided that the net benefit analysis shall not apply to capital investment for a food delivery source, a health care or health services center, an institutional project, or a residential project. In determining whether a project will result in a net positive benefit to the State, the authority shall not consider the value of any taxes exempted, abated, rebated, or retained under the "Five-Year Exemption and Abatement Law," P.L.1991, c.441 (C.40A:21-1 et seq.), the "Long Term Tax Exemption Law," P.L.1991, c.431 (C.40A:20-1 et al.), the "New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zones Act," P.L.1983, c.303 (C.52:27H-60 et al.), or any other law that has the effect of lowering or eliminating the developer's State or local tax liability. The determination made pursuant to this subsection shall be based on the potential tax liability of the developer without regard for potential tax losses if the developer were to locate in another state. The authority shall assess the cost of these reviews to the applicant. A developer shall pay to the authority the full amount of the direct costs of an analysis concerning the developer's application for a tax credit that a third party retained by the authority performs, if the authority deems such retention to be necessary. The authority shall evaluate the net economic benefits on a present value basis under which the requested tax credit allocation amount is discounted to present value at the same discount rate as the projected benefits from the implementation of the proposed redevelopment project for which an award of tax credits is being sought. d. (1) For a redevelopment project subject to the requirement of subsection c. of this section to be eligible for any tax credits under the program, a developer shall demonstrate to the authority that the award of tax credits will yield a net positive benefit to the State equaling an amount determined by the authority through regulation that exceeds the requested tax credit amount. The developer shall certify, under the penalty of perjury, that all documents submitted, and factual assertions made, to the authority to demonstrate that the award of tax credits will yield a net positive benefit to the State in accordance with this subsection are true and accurate at the time of submission.

(3) A commercial project that contains 50,000 or more square feet of space devoted to research or technology-focused incubator and conferencing facilities for one or more institutions of higher education or nonprofit organizations, and which has a total project cost of not less than $50 million, shall yield a net positive benefit to the State that exceeds the requested tax credit amount, but the net benefit requirement set by the authority for such redevelopment projects may be up to 35 percentage points lower than the net benefit requirement set by the authority for all other eligible redevelopment projects. (4) A redevelopment project that is predominantly commercial and that receives a federal historic rehabilitation tax credit pursuant to section 47 of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. s.47, or a tax credit pursuant to the "Historic Property Reinvestment Act," sections 2 through 8 of P.L.2020, c.156 (C.34:1B-270 through 34:1B-276), shall yield a net positive benefit to the State that exceeds the requested tax credit amount, but the net benefit requirement set by the authority for such redevelopment projects may be up to 35 percentage points lower than the net benefit requirement set by the authority for all other eligible redevelopment projects. (5) A commercial project that is located on land owned by the federal government on or before December 31, 2005 shall yield a net positive benefit to the State that exceeds the requested tax credit amount, but the net benefit requirement set by the authority for such redevelopment projects may be up to 35 percentage points lower than the net benefit requirement set by the authority for all other eligible redevelopment projects. (6) A redevelopment project that is undertaken by a major cultural institution to renovate existing space or expand services into additional space, and in which the major cultural institution realizes all returns from the redevelopment project, shall yield a net positive benefit to the State that exceeds the requested tax credit amount, but the net benefit requirement set by the authority for such redevelopment projects may be lower than the net benefit requirement set by the authority for all other eligible redevelopment projects. e. If at any time during the eligibility period the authority determines that the developer made a material misrepresentation on the developer's application, the developer shall forfeit the incentive award. f. If circumstances require a developer to amend its application to the authority, then the developer, or an authorized agent of the developer, shall certify to the authority that the information provided in its amended application is true under the penalty of perjury.

Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program.
Status: in_force

3. a. The Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program is hereby established as a program under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and shall be administered by the authority. The purpose of the program is to encourage economic development and job creation and to preserve jobs that currently exist in New Jersey but which are in danger of being relocated to premises outside of the State. To implement that purpose, and to the extent that funding for the program is available, the program may provide grants of tax credits. To be eligible for any grant of tax credits pursuant to P.L.1996, c.25 (C.34:1B-112 et seq.), a business shall demonstrate to the authority, at the time of application, that the grant of tax credits and resultant retention of full-time jobs and any capital investment will yield a net positive benefit to the State. The net benefit resulting from the retention of full-time jobs and any capital investment by a business that has had grant pre-application meetings with the authority and has executed contracts relating to the new business location during the period commencing May 1, 2010 until the enactment of P.L.2010, c.123, shall be calculated from the date of the initial grant pre-application meeting. b.

(2) A business shall apply for a grant of tax credits under the Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program prior to the effective date of the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.), and shall submit its documentation for approval of a grant of tax credits no later than 90 calendar days after the effective date of the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.). (3) If a business has submitted an application under P.L.1996, c.25 (C.34:1B-112 et seq.) and that application has not been approved for any reason, the lack of approval shall not serve to prejudice in any way the consideration of a new application as may be submitted by a business for the provision of incentives offered pursuant to the "New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013," P.L.2013, c.161 (C.52:27D-489p et al.).

To bargain collectively is the performance of the mutual obligation of the cannabis employer and the representative of the cannabis employees to meet at reasonable times and confer in good faith with respect to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, or the negotiation of an agreement or any question arising thereunder, and the execution of a written contract incorporating any agreement reached if requested by either party, but this obligation shall not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession, provided that, where there is in effect a collective bargaining contract covering employees in an industry affecting commerce, the duty to bargain collectively shall also mean that no party to the contract shall terminate or modify the contract, unless the party desiring the termination or modification: (1) serves a written notice upon the other party to the contract of the proposed termination or modification 60 days prior to the expiration date thereof, or in the event the contract contains no expiration date, 60 days prior to the time the termination or modification is proposed; (2) offers to meet and confer with the other party for the purpose of negotiating a new contract or a contract containing the proposed modifications; (3) notifies the Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement within 30 days after such notice of the existence of a dispute; and (4) continues in full force and effect, without resorting to strike or lockout, all the terms and conditions of the existing contract for a period of 60 days after the notice is given or until the expiration date of the contract, whichever occurs later. b. Whenever collective bargaining is for the purpose of establishing an initial collective bargaining agreement following certification or recognition of a labor organization, the following shall apply: (1) Not later than 10 days after receiving a written request for collective bargaining from an individual or labor organization that has been newly recognized or certified as a representative as defined in section 8 of P.L.2025, c.244 (C.34:13A-67), or within a further period as the parties agree upon, the parties shall meet and commence to bargain collectively and shall make every reasonable effort to conclude and sign a collective bargaining agreement. (2) If after the expiration of the 90-day period beginning on the date on which bargaining is commenced, or an additional period as the parties may agree upon, the parties have failed to reach an agreement, either party may notify the Board of Mediation of the existence of a dispute and request conciliation or mediation or both. Whenever such a request is received, it shall be the duty of the Board of Mediation promptly to put itself in communication with the parties and to use its best efforts, by mediation and conciliation, to bring them to agreement. (3) If after the expiration of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the request for mediation is made, or an additional period as the parties may agree upon, the Board of Mediation is not able to bring the parties to agreement by conciliation or mediation, the Board of Mediation shall refer the dispute to an arbitration panel established in accordance with regulations as may be prescribed by the Board of Mediation, with one member selected by the labor organization, one member selected by the employer, and one neutral member mutually agreed to by the parties. The labor organization and employer shall each select the members of the tripartite arbitration panel within 14 days of the Board of Mediation’s referral; if the labor organization or employer fail to do so, the Board of Mediation shall designate any members not selected by the labor organization or the employer. An arbitration panel shall render a decision settling the dispute as soon as practicable and not later than within 120 days, absent extraordinary circumstances or by agreement or permission of the parties, and the decision shall be binding upon the parties for a period of two years, unless amended during a period by written consent of the parties.

That penalty shall be collected by the commissioner in a summary proceeding in accordance with the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.). e. The commissioner, in consultation with the Office of the New Americans within the Department of Human Services, shall develop and implement a multilingual outreach program to inform temporary laborers in a designated classification placement about their rights pursuant to P.L.2023, c.10 (C.34:8D-1 et al.). The program shall develop written materials in various languages based on the 10 most prevalent language access needs in the State, and may periodically reevaluate the language access needs and adjust translation efforts accordingly.

Each temporary help service firm seeking certification to make designated classification placements shall provide proof of an employer account number issued by the commissioner for the payment of unemployment insurance contributions as required under the "unemployment compensation law," R.S.43:21-1 et seq.; proof of valid workers' compensation insurance in effect at the time of certification covering all of its employees; on a form created by the director, the number of temporary laborers previously in designated classification placements whom the temporary help service firm has placed in a permanent position with a third party client in the preceding 12 months as well as the percentage those permanent placements represent of the total number of temporary laborers in designated classification placements contracted by the temporary help service firm during the same period; and such other information as the director may require pursuant to rules adopted under this section. If, at any time, the workers' compensation insurance coverage for a temporary help service firm that makes designated classification placements lapses, the temporary help service firm shall have an affirmative duty to report the lapse of coverage to the director and the temporary help service firm's certification shall be suspended until the firm's workers' compensation insurance is reinstated.

The director shall assess each temporary help service firm seeking certification to make designated classification placements a non-refundable certification fee not exceeding $2,000 per year per temporary help service firm and a non-refundable fee not to exceed $750 per year for each branch office or other location where the temporary help service firm regularly conducts its business, including but not limited to contracting with and recruiting with temporary laborers for designated classification placement services. The fee shall be paid by check or money order, and the director may not refuse to accept a check on the basis that it is not a certified check or a cashier's check.

Each day during which a person operates as a temporary help service firm that makes designated classification placements without being certified as a temporary help service firm with the director pursuant to this section shall be a separate and distinct violation of P.L.2023, c.10 (C.34:8D-1 et al.). That penalty shall be collected by the director in a summary proceeding in accordance with the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.). A temporary help service firm that makes designated classification placements shall obtain a surety bond issued by a surety company admitted to do business in this State. The principal sum of the bond shall not be less than $200,000. A copy of the bond shall be filed with the director.

Thirty days prior to the cancellation or termination of any surety bond required by this section, the surety shall send written notice to both the temporary help service firm and the director identifying the bond and the date of the cancellation or termination. A temporary help service firm that makes designated classification placements shall not conduct any business until it obtains a new surety bond and files a copy of it with the director.

Worker's compensation benefits for certain surviving dependents of employees deemed essential during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Status: in_force

1. a. Beginning on January 1, 2020, and in each fiscal year thereafter, a dependent of an essential employee, who is receiving weekly benefits pursuant to R.S.34:15-13 for a death that occurred after March 1, 2020 due to the contraction of coronavirus disease 2019 in the course of employment, and who is not entitled to receive special adjustment benefits pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1980, c.83 (C.34:15-95.4), shall be entitled to receive weekly supplemental benefits from the Second Injury Fund during the period in which the dependent is eligible to receive the initially-awarded weekly benefits, whenever the amount of the initially-awarded weekly benefits is less than the total amount of weekly benefits that would be payable to the dependent if that total amount included weekly supplemental benefits calculated in the manner indicated in subsection b. of this section. In making the determination of the aggregate annual surcharge for the Second Injury Fund to be levied pursuant to paragraph (4) of subsection c. of R.S.34:15-94 for calendar year 2020 and each subsequent calendar year, the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development shall include the anticipated additional amounts, including administrative costs, required for payment of supplemental benefits pursuant to this section during the fiscal year which begins on July 1 of the respective calendar year. b. The base amount of the weekly supplemental benefits to be paid pursuant to this section during each fiscal year shall be calculated in a manner so that when it is added to the workers' compensation weekly death benefits initially awarded, the sum of the initial award and the base weekly supplemental benefits shall bear the same percentage relationship to the maximum workers' compensation death benefit rate for the current fiscal year that the dependent's initial weekly death benefits bore to the maximum workers' compensation death benefit rate in effect at the time of the death, except that: (1) The actual amount of the supplemental benefits paid pursuant to this section to any dependent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the dependent's benefit payable under the Federal Old-Age, Survivors' and Disability Insurance Act, excluding any disability benefits paid to that dependent under that act and any cost of living increases in benefits paid to that dependent under that act, or Black Lung benefits; (2) A supplemental benefit shall not be paid if the actual amount of the benefit to be paid is calculated to be less than $5 per week; and (3) A supplemental benefit shall not be paid to a dependent who elects to not receive benefits under the Federal Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance Act for which the dependent is eligible. c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, weekly supplemental benefits paid pursuant to this section shall not be paid in a manner which in any way changes or modifies the provisions of section 1 or 9 of P.L.1980, c.83 (C.34:15-95.4 or 34:15-95.5). d. An insurance carrier or self-insured employer responsible for the payment of workers' compensation death benefits to a dependent shall notify the Division of Workers' Compensation of the need to have the Second Injury Fund make supplemental benefit payments to the dependent pursuant to this section not later than the 60th day after the date on which it is determined that the payment of supplemental benefits is required pursuant to this section. If the insurance carrier or self-insured employer fails to notify the division and that failure results in the payment of an incorrect amount of benefits, the liability for the payment of the supplemental benefits shall be transferred from the Second Injury Fund to the employer until the time at which the insurance carrier or self-insured employer provides the required notice. e. For the purposes of this section, "essential employee" means an employee in the public or private sector who, during a state of emergency: (1) is a public safety worker or first responder, including any fire, police or other emergency responders; (2) is involved in providing medical and other healthcare services, emergency transportation, social services, and other care services, including services provided in health care facilities, residential facilities, or homes; (3) performs functions which involve physical proximity to members of the public and are essential to the public's health, safety, and welfare, including transportation services, financial services, and the production, preparation, storage, sale, and distribution of essential goods such as food, beverages, medicine, fuel, and supplies for conducting essential business and work at home; or (4) is any other employee deemed an essential employee by the public authority declaring the state of emergency. If the state of emergency does not apply to the entire State, an employee shall be regarded as an essential employee only if the employee is working in the area subject to the state of emergency. f. The Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development shall promulgate rules and regulations as are necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act. L.2021, c.55.

Payment of claims; application; recovery.
Status: in_force

34:15-111. A valid claim for compensation or death benefits, or installments thereof, heretofore or hereafter made pursuant to this chapter or the federal "Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act," 44 Stat. 1424 (33 U.S.C. s.901 et seq.), as authorized by this article, which has remained or shall remain due and unpaid for 60 days, by reason of default by an insolvent carrier, shall be paid from the fund in the manner provided in this section. Any person in interest may file with the New Jersey Property-Liability Insurance Guaranty Association an application for payment of compensation or death benefits from the fund on a form to be prescribed and furnished by the New Jersey Property-Liability Insurance Guaranty Association. If there has been an award, final or otherwise, a certified copy thereof shall accompany the application. Any person recovering under R.S.34:15-103 et seq. shall be deemed to have assigned his rights under the policy to the fund to the extent of his recovery from the fund. Every insured or claimant seeking the protection of R.S.34:15-103 et seq. shall cooperate with the fund to the same extent as that person would have been required to cooperate with the insolvent carrier. The fund shall have no cause of action against the insured employer or the insolvent carrier for any sums it has paid out, except those causes of action that the insolvent carrier would have had if those sums had been paid by the insolvent carrier, including, but not limited to, the right to receive the benefit of, and to enforce any and all obligations on the part of the insured, to either fund directly (or indirectly through a third party administrator), or secure the payment of, compensation due under the policies of the insolvent carrier, to the extent of claims paid. The foregoing vests the fund with an exclusive cause of action against the insured and includes the right to enforce against the insured the rights of the carrier with respect to any obligation of the insured to reimburse the carrier for deductibles or pay claims within a deductible. Further, the fund is vested with a first lien in any collateral provided by the insured to the carrier to secure the insured's performance, to the extent of claims paid by the fund, which lien can be perfected by notice to the liquidator. In the case of an insolvent insurer operating on a plan with an assessment liability, payments of claims of the fund shall not operate to reduce the liability of insureds to the receiver, liquidator or statutory successor for unpaid assessments. The receiver, liquidator, or statutory successor of an insolvent insurer shall be bound by settlements of covered claims by the fund or its representatives. The court having jurisdiction shall grant a claim priority equal to that to which the claimant would have been entitled in the absence of R.S.34:15-103 et seq. against the assets of the insolvent carrier. The expenses of the fund or similar organization in handling claims shall be accorded the same priority as the liquidator's expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an employer may pay such award or part thereof in advance of payment from the fund and shall thereupon be subrogated to the rights of the employee or other party in interest against the fund to the extent of the amount so paid. The New Jersey Property-Liability Insurance Guaranty Association shall be entitled to recover the sum of all liabilities of such insolvent carrier assumed by such fund from such carrier, its receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator or trustee in bankruptcy and may prosecute an action or other proceedings therefor. All moneys recovered in any such action or proceedings shall forthwith be placed to the credit of the fund to reimburse the fund to the extent of the moneys so recovered and paid. amended 1987, c.250, s.5; 2004, c.179, s.8; 2009, c.327, s.5.
