The New Jersey Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in the second of two recent appellate rulings on whether those who change jobs—only to see the new job disappear—are entitled to unemployment benefits.

The court on April 27 granted a petition for certification in Blake v. Board of Review, weeks after it granted a petition in connection with McClain v. Board of Review, a case with a similar fact pattern that yielded a different result below. The court thus will resolve two conflicting Appellate Division rulings on the issue.
