To claim Florida unemployment benefits, you have to file for them. There are two different ways to begin the process of getting unemployment benefits.
The first way is the old fashioned way, call the unemployment hotline and hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5.p.m.
This is just an interview to determine how much you are going to earn. If you are approved, you will begin to collect benefits weekly. You have to seek employment and notify the One Stop Career Center of your employment status.
If you are denied Florida unemployment benefits, you can easily appeal the decision by visiting the there website. You have 20 days after the date of the determination of your Florida unemployment benefits to appeal. A formal telephone hearing is scheduled. After the hearing is complete, you will receive an appeals packet in the mail. The hearing will last no longer than an hour. An appeals referee will prepare a written decision and send it to you in the mail.
You deserve to make a living just like everyone else. Claim your Florida unemployment benefits and prepare yourself to jump back into the workforce with positive energy and confidence.
