The MAXIMUM unemployment benefit in FL is $275/week with a MAXIMUM of $3300 for 12 weeks. While I am sure there are people "playing" the $300 "windfall" to their advantage there are MANY MORE who are not. Do the math. Sometimes a few benefit who don't deserve it but generally it benefits the majority. Kind of like tax cuts for billionaires. I'm sure many folks HERE who "didn't need" the money they accepted to "stimulate they economy" took it and are b1tching about the extra $300 for a few more months those who aren't living the good life got.

"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." This means a lot of people aren't even getting $275/week.
