(a) All claims and other required documents
relating to a claim for disability benefits during unemployment may be filed by mail except in those cases
where the claimant is notified by the Division that a personal appearance or examination will be required.
Filing by mail shall be deemed complete as of the postmarked date unless the claimant can provide evidence of
an earlier date of mailing.
(b) Disability benefits shall be
payable to a claimant residing in another state or in Canada, provided he or she complies with the

Division shall authorize such examination to be made by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse,
dentist, podiatrist, chiropractor, practicing psychologist or optometrist. The payment of examination fees
shall be consistent with those fees established in
12:18-3.1(g)
concerning temporary disability examination fees.
(d) If a claimant refuses to submit to an independent medical examination
by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, dentist, podiatrist, chiropractor, practicing psychologist,
or optometrist designated by the Division , he or she shall be disqualified for receiving all benefits for the
period of disability in question, except for benefits already paid.
