The Reemployment Assistance program (formerly known as “unemployment assistance”) provides help to workers who have either had their hours reduced, been furloughed or laid off. Those receiving wages through paid leave, however, are not eligible. As part of the Federal CARES Act, the benefits available to individuals that have lost their job due to the COVID-19 crisis has increased.
Benefits
- Recipients can be paid half of what they were earning while working full-time. The maximum benefit from the State of Florida is $275 per week for a maximum of 39 weeks
- An additional $600 per week has been made available for up to 13 weeks. This benefit will be available through July 31, 2020 and the amount is added to the benefits of up to $275 provided by the State of Florida
