Category: Florida Unemployment

Unemployment insurance in Florida is a government program that provides financial assistance to individuals who have lost their jobs due to circumstances beyond their control. It offers temporary and partial relief to individuals who are actively seeking new employment. Those who are eligible for these benefits are those who have become unemployed through no fault of their own, who are willing and able to work, and who have a work history and have earned a minimum amount at their previous job.

The specific amount of the benefit depends on the wages the individual earned during their last employment. However, the maximum amount that can be received in Florida is $275 per week, for a maximum of 12 weeks. This is one of the lowest amount nationwide and the duration of the benefit is also among the shortest.
