to affected workers from the time of their layoff as a result of COVID-19.

Changes to Florida Unemployment Due to
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented number of Florida
workers to experience layoffs, reduced hours and furloughs.
While the Florida unemployment program was initially overwhelmed by
the high volume of new applicants, the state is making frequent updates
to the program and its rules to ensure all Floridians can access economic
relief during this difficult time.
New changes to the program include:
• Creating a new mobile -friendly website for online applications
• Waiving the one -week delay for payments, the work search
requirement and the work registration requirement
• Extending federal benefits to self-employed workers, contractors and
gig economy workers
• Offering paper applications to Floridians without internet access
Many people are facing lengthy wait times while filing for unemployment
benefits or contacting the Reemployment Assistance Program, but the
state is using every agency and resource available to get Floridians the
assistance they need as soon as possible.

Updated Website for Online Unemployment
Applications
Due to the staggering number of new unemployment claims submitted to
CONNECT, Florida's website for processing online applications, many
applicants experienced errors and glitches that prevented them from
filing successfully.
To address this problem, the Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity (DEO) has launched a new unemployment website that
streamlines the application process. It also provides a much better
experience for mobile users applying on their smartphone or tablet.
Early reviews of the new website indicate that users are not experiencing
the same errors and glitches affecting the CONNECT website.
If you have any issues during the online application process, review the
DEO's list of frequently asked questions. The state has updated the list
with questions about applying for benefits during the COVID-19 crisis.
Florida Now Accepting Paper Applications
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment-covid-19/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Changes Due to COVID- 19 Page 3 of 9
With public libraries closed, unemployed workers may not have access to
a computer to file an online application. If you can't access a computer or
mobile device with internet access, you can now mail in a paper
application for Florida unemployment assistance.
FedEx is assisting with this process by offering free printing and mailing
options for paper applications at more than 100 stores statewide.
» Find a FedEx location near you
You can visit FedEx to print and send out your paper application. You
should complete your form using blue or black ink and mail it to:
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity
P.O. Box 5350
Tallahassee, FL 32314-5350
Keep in mind that paper applications will take longer to process than
online applications. If you already completed an unemployment
application through the CONNECT website and your application is
pending, do not submit an additional paper application.
Governor Waives One -Week Payment Delay and Work
Search Requirement
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has waived the mandatory delay that
prevented applicants from receiving benefits during the first week of their
unemployment. In addition, DeSantis dropped the requirements to
contact at least five potential employers per week and complete work
registration on the Employ Florida website.
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment-covid-19/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Changes Due to COVID-19 Page 4 of 9
You still need to log into the Reemployment Assistance website every two
weeks to request your benefits. The work search requirement and full
work registration requirement has been waived only for applicants
requesting benefits for the weeks of March 15 to May 2. You must fulfill
these requirements if you requested benefits before March 15.
Duration of Benefits May Be Extended
When the state unemployment rate increases above 5 percent, Florida
extends the duration of benefits beyond the standard 12 weeks.
An additional week is added for every 0.5 percent increase to the
unemployment rate above 5 percent. The maximum possible extension is
23 weeks. According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report,
the Florida unemployment rate for February was 2.8 percent.

Additional Financial Relief Through the Federal
CARES Act
The federal government's COVID-19 relief package, known as the CARES
Act, provides eligible unemployed individuals $600 per week for four
months.
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment-covid-19/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Changes Due to COVID-19 Page 5 of 9
Those who qualify will receive this benefit in addition to their weekly
Florida unemployment benefit. The federal unemployment benefit
payments are scheduled to end July 31, 2020.
The CARES Act also authorizes direct relief payments to qualifying
individuals and families. If you filed your 2019 or 2018 tax return and
received your refund through direct deposit, your emergency relief
payment will be automatically deposited in your bank account.
The payment amount for those who qualify is $1,200 for individuals,
$2,400 for married couples and up to $500 for each child.

Self -Employed and Gig Economy Workers Now
Qualify for Unemployment Benefits
Floridians who are self-employed, nonprofit workers or contractors —
including gig economy workers such as Uber and Lyft drivers — do not
typically qualify for state benefits.
However, the CARES Act allows these workers to apply for $600 per week
in federal benefits by filing through Florida's unemployment system. As of
April 9, 2020, the state is still developing a process to accept these claims.

Florida's unemployment insurance program is called Reemployment
Assistance. If you lost your job, were put on furlough or had your hours
cut or reduced to zero through no fault of your own, you can apply online
to receive monetary assistance and get help finding work.
Changes to Florida Unemployment Due to COVID-
19
in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Florida has changed some
rules of the Reemployment Assistance program. Benefits are now
available to self-employed workers and independent contractors.
And the governor has waived several program requirements,
including the mandatory waiting week for your first payment.
The state has also launched a new mobile -friendly website that is
better prepared to handle the high volume of unemployment
applications.

Florida Unemployment Benefits Eligibility
To qualify for Florida unemployment benefits, you must meet several
criteria:
• You must have lost your job through no fault of your own. You won't
qualify if you quit for personal reasons or were terminated for
malicious misconduct. Poor job performance does not disqualify you.
• You must be totally or partially unemployed. Partially unemployed
means your hours were reduced or you're a part-time worker who
can't find additional work.
• You must have earned at least $3,400 before taxes in what is called
the "base period," which is the first four complete quarters beginning
18 months prior to your claim.
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Benefits Reemployment Assistance Page 3 of 14
• You must be able to work, available to work, and actively seeking
work. This includes being able to get to a job and have child care if
necessary.
The best way to find out if you are eligible is to apply online. If you need
help applying or determining your eligibility, contact your local
CareerSource Florida center.

Can Furloughed Workers Receive Unemployment Benefits?
Yes. Furloughed workers — those put on mandatory unpaid leave — are
encouraged to apply for Florida unemployment benefits. If your hours
were reduced or you were put on a zero -hour schedule, you may be
eligible for unemployment benefits.
Even if your employer says you won't qualify, you should apply anyways.
Eligibility is based on your earnings in a prior week, not the number of
hours you worked. Once you apply for benefits, the Reemployment
Assistance team will review your information and determine your
eligibility.

If you want to use direct deposit, you must provide your bank account
number and routing number. You can also request a Reemployment
Assistance debit card.
File Your Florida Unemployment Claim
Within one week of becoming unemployed, you should begin the claims
process to receive your Reemployment Assistance benefits. The date your
application is finished determines when you will begin receiving benefits.
Claims always begin with the Sunday prior to the completion of the
application. For example, an application completed on Wednesday will
take effect on the Sunday before that Wednesday.
All claims in Florida must be completed online. The process should take
approximately 30-60 minutes to complete.
» File your online unemployment claim.
If you need assistance filing your claim, you can:
• Read the Reemployment Assistance FAQs
• Email a Reemployment Assistance agent
• Call the Reemployment Assistance Hotline: 1-800-204-2418
Those who need assistance because of disabilities, legal reasons,
computer illiteracy or language barriers should call 1-800-681-8102.
Once your claim is filed, you will receive a confirmation notice that your
claim has been received. You must request benefit payment no later than
seven days from your scheduled report date. If your claim is accepted, it
will take two to four weeks to receive your first payment. The week you
file your claim is a "waiting week" during which no benefits are paid.

If you do not receive a confirmation notice, call the Claims Assistance
Center toll free at 1-800-204-2418.
Initial Skills Review
Along with the confirmation that your claim has been received, you will
receive instructions on the Initial Skills Review. This examination is
mandatory. There is no pass or fail, and the answers given do not affect
your claim or eligibility. CareerSource Florida uses the Initial Skills Review
to help in your job search efforts.
How Much Will My Florida Unemployment Benefits
Pay?
The weekly payment amount you receive during unemployment will vary
from person to person. The only way to be sure of your benefit amount is
to submit a claim.
The state determines your weekly benefit payments based on your
previous earnings during employment. In 2020, you can receive a
maximum of $275 per week for 12 weeks. You are entitled to a
maximum benefit amount of $3,300.
You will continue to receive Reemployment Assistance weekly for up to 12
weeks. When you secure a job, the payments will stop. However, working
part-time or temporarily does not necessarily end the benefits.
Benefits Extensions
No benefit extension programs are available at this time. Once you
receive 12 weeks of unemployment benefits or reach the maximum total
benefit amount of $3,300, your Reemployment Assistance payments will
end.

Additional Florida Unemployment Benefits
In addition to the Reemployment Assistance Program, there are other
programs to help unemployed Floridians. These are different than
unemployment benefits, and you need to apply for them separately.
Eligibility for one benefit does not guarantee or prohibit eligibility for
another.
Low -Income Home Energy Assistance Program
The Low -Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally
funded program that helps low-income households cover heating and
cooling costs. You can request assistance up to three times per year, but
the program does not cover water, sewer or telephone services. The
funds are paid directly to the energy company, not the household.
» Learn more about the Low -Income Home Energy Assistance Program
Weatherization Assistance Program
The Weatherization Assistance Program is another federally funded
program intended to help with home energy costs for low-income
households. Instead of paying for energy costs directly, this program
helps with the causes of high energy costs, helping households with
insulation and ventilation needs, applying solar reflective coatings and
installing solar screens, and repairing or replacing inefficient air
conditioners and water heaters. Not every eligible applicant will receive
assistance, but you should contact your local Weatherization office to see
if you qualify.
» Find a Local Weatherization office
Community Services Block Grant Program
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Benefits I Reemployment Assistance Page 8 of 14
The Community Services Block Grant Program (CSBG) is designed to help
members of low-income households be self-sufficient. The funds are
distributed by local governments and non-profit agencies called
Community Action Agencies.
These funds are used in a variety of ways to combat poverty, including:
• Providing emergency health, food, housing, day care, and
transportation assistance
• Housing counseling
• Home finance management assistance
• Nutrition programs and federal surplus food distribution
• Community gardening projects
• Food banks
• job counseling
• Placement and training services
• Homelessness prevention programs
To see if you are eligible for these benefits, contact your local CSBG
provider.

market for the first time. To take advantage of these services, visit the
Employ Florida website.
Claiming Your Benefits
Find out the steps to take to file your claim and start receiving payments.
Set up a Personal Identification Number (PIN)
When you fill out your application, you need to set up a PIN that you will
use to log into the CONNECT system and claim your benefits. A PIN is not
provided for you, so you must create one yourself.
Your PIN must be four digits long, and it cannot be:
• A repeating number (1111, 2222, 3333, etc.)
• Four sequential numbers (such as 1234)
• The last four digits of your Social Security number
Make sure your PIN is easy for you to remember but not easy to guess.
Requesting Benefit Payments
Every two weeks, you will use your PIN to log into your online
Reemployment Assistance account and claim your unemployment
benefits. You must request your benefits within seven days of your
scheduled report date.
If the last digit of your Social Security number is even, you will claim your
benefits on Mondays. If the last digit is odd, you will claim your benefits
https://www.stateofflorida.com/articles/florida-unemployment/ 4/10/2020
Florida Unemployment Benefits I Reemployment Assistance Page 10 of 14
on Tuesdays. Once you receive your first payment, your scheduled report
date may change.
If you are more than seven days late to claim your benefits, you may be
denied payment. So make sure to always request your benefits on time.
Note All Work and Earnings
When you claim your benefits, you will have to report any work you have
done in the weeks being claimed as well as the gross earnings (pre-tax
wages). Even if you have not received payment from the employer yet,
the earnings must still be reported over the time worked. Failure to
report work and earnings is a crime and can carry severe penalties.
Keep Seeking Employment
You also need to report your efforts to find a new job when you claim
your benefits. Florida unemployment laws require you to contact five
potential employers each week in order to maintain benefits.
Throughout your job search, be sure to keep track of:
• Dates of contact
• Methods of contact (in person, phone, online, fax, etc.)
• Business names, telephone numbers, websites, and email addresses
• Results of your search
• Type of work sought
You can use the Employ Florida website to help you in your job hunt; it
has thousands of jobs you can search and apply for.

If you should encounter any issues with your claim, your PIN, or your
reception of benefits, do not delay in fixing them. Call the Claims
Assistance hotline toll free at 1-800-204-2418 to speak with a program
representative.
Appeal a Denial of Benefits
If you were denied unemployment benefits, you may file an appeal
online. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity refers to those
seeking benefits as Claimants. Claimants, employers, and authorized
representatives may appeal a decision that was not made in their favor.
You must wait until after a determination is mailed or delivered to file an
appeal. The determination will also contain instructions on how to file
your appeal after a denial of benefits.
