IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program, $300 per week supplemental FPUC payment, expired on June 26, 2021, as part of DEO’s ‘Return to Work’ initiative.
In addition, as Florida opted out of the FPUC program, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) is requiring that Florida end its participation in the Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program, effective June 26, 2021.
The additional federal Reemployment Assistance benefit programs, including Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) will continue for the time being as DEO continues to carefully monitor job posting and industry hiring trends. These additional federal benefit programs are set to expire on September 6, 2021.

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) is committed to getting benefits to eligible Floridians as quickly as possible.
To comply with federal law, weeks beginning May 10, 2020, claimants will be required to return to the CONNECT system every two weeks to request their benefits or “claim their weeks.” In so doing, claimants will confirm that they are still unemployed and acknowledge that you are able and available for work.
You must claim your weeks in order to receive benefits. Claimants will be able to request a benefit payment for each week available.
Governor DeSantis has, however, directed DEO to waive the work search and Nut requirements for claimants through May 29, 2021. However, answers to work search questions are still required to process your claim in the CONNECT system but will not impact benefit payments.
