Just some info- I am a Registered Nurse here in the Villages. I was furloughed for 10 weeks. Yes we are eligible for unemployment during this pandemic and even the whopping 600$ extra . I am not full time and I still received benefits. Just want to clarify for the statement that furloughed employees don’t qualify for unemployment . Thanks... and it’s great to be back to work...
