Reemployment Assistance
Reemployment Assistance (formerly known as unemployment compensation) is available to Floridians adversely impacted by COVID-19.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 provides Reemployment Assistance benefits to you and certain other people (nonprofit employees, those who have exhausted other unemployment insurance benefits, and those who may not have sufficient work history to qualify for regular state benefits).
You may also be entitled to an additional $600 weekly benefit even if you are currently
receiving Reemployment Assistance benefits, under Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC).
