More details to this question:
I was laid off work as of 1/5/15 till now. Upon claiming unemployment benefits they claim i returned to work 1/19/15. I was never contacted after initially being told about the lay-off. I was told it was suppose to be a week because it was "Slow" but has been over a month. Bills are pilling up and i have no check from either them or unemployment to help with anything.

I would work with the employer and with New Jersey unemployment. The cost to sue the employer would be too great. The key is obtaining a settlement with the employer. The employer provides the documentation to New Jersey unemployment. If the documentation to stop entitle you to unemployment compensation, then you would need to appeal the decision. This is a costly procedure.
