Florida unemployment benefits provide temporary compensation to those workers
meeting the eligibility requirements of Florida law.
The Florida
Agency for Workforce Innovation and each other state's unemployment office administers
its own unemployment insurance program within Federal guidelines.The
value of unemployment benefits in Florida differs from that of other states
because each state unemployment office applies its own formulas and limits when
calculating the level of unemployment compensation. The duration of unemployment
benefits in Florida may also differ from that of other states.
To collect unemployment:
* You must have been employed. The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation publishes
requirements for wages earned or time worked during an established period of
time referred to as a "base period."
* You must be determined to be unemployed through no fault of your own as defined
under Florida law.
* You must file ongoing claims and respond to questions concerning your continued
eligibility. You must report any earnings from work and any job offers or refusal
of work during any claim period.
* Meet any other unemployment eligibility requirements of Florida law.
