COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS FOR UC-9
General Instructions
The UC-9 must be completed to claim credit or refund by reason of erroneous payment of contributions - UI, DI,
WF and FLI.
The New Jersey Unemployment Compensation Law (43: 21-14(f)) establishes a two-year Statute of Limitations for
refunding any payments, even if the payment was remitted in error.
In addition, the quarterly reports - NJ927 and WR30 - must be amended on-line to reflect any reduction in gross
and/or taxable wages. The amended forms are located on-line at:
https://www1.state.nj.us/TYTR_BusinessFilings/jsp/common/Login.jsp?processType=RETURN.
A refund check will be issued after all reports and form(s) have been submitted and audited. A refund check can
not be issued if outstanding liability or reporting delinquencies exist on the account. A credit will be established and
applied to the outstanding liability.
