(Sept 2009) H.R. 3548 was passed by the US House of Reps and is waiting on the US Senate for a vote. After it passes it will need to be signed into law by the US President. Then Federal Tier 3 (additional 13 weeks which may be amended to 20 weeks by the US Senate) would then be applied to Pennsylvania and a few other states with highunemployment. The PA State congress already extended 7 weeks if you are waiting for Tier 3 from the Feds to kick in. I'm not sure about the other extensions by the State of PA but I think it begins at 13 or 20 weeks. Please check Google for more updates on all this. Thanks.
Personally I'm waiting another week longer for the Federal Tier 3 to be signed into law before I start the PA state version, which is a paperwork nightmare.

Does NJ have TIER 3 unemployment program?
Yes it does but it may depend on certain conditions. I am eligible for TIER 3 unemployment but maybe because I was in the military. Military personnel receive unemployment benefits differently, from a different "pot" of money. I received notice of eligibility while I am receiving Tier 2 benefits. If you are eligible you will receive it months before you exhaust TIER 2 benefits.
