I was recently laid off from my teaching position in a school district in New Jersey due to a reduction in force (RIF). When I received the news, they actually suggested that I should apply for unemployment benefits. I have a job offer lined up with another school district starting in September, but my current employment officially ends on the 30th of this month. I haven't signed a contract for the new position yet, which makes me a bit uncertain about my eligibility for unemployment. A coworker in a similar situation believes we are eligible, but I've come across mixed information online and from others I've asked. I'm looking for any advice or insights on whether I can apply for unemployment with my RIF letter and how this situation might affect my claim. Thanks in advance!
