Florida Unemployment Benefits | Reemployment Assistance
From above State of FL website: The state determines your weekly benefit payments based on your previous earnings during employment. In 2020, you can receive a maximum of $275 per week for 12 weeks. You are entitled to a maximum benefit amount of $3,300.
99% of people would gladly accept a job over getting a little more $ from unemployment insurance for a limited time. I lost my job and it won’t be easy to find another one.
