Somebody may have more experience with this, but I don't see why not. Your EIN is a federal number. Try this link for more info: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/...

Not sure what type of business entity you are, but in general, unless you will be changing the entity type or creating a brand new entity in NJ, then you should be able to keep the same EIN.
If you create a new entity in NJ (e.g., file a brand new corp or LLC, etc., in NJ, unrelated to your NY entity), or if you change entity type (e.g., change from a sole proprietor to a corp), then you would have to get a new EIN.
More info about EIN rules is available on the IRS website's EIN general info page at:
