New information on Florida Unemployment back-pay

The Department of Economic Opportunity:

“If you attempted to apply and were not able to file a claim between the weeks of March 9, 2020, to April 9, 2020, your claim date can be adjusted to the date you originally tried to apply. If you are eligible, you will be paid all benefits due.”

"DEO recognizes that Floridians have had a hard time applying for Reemployment Assistance due to no fault of their own. If a claimant would like to request to modify their claim filing effective date, they should visit www.FloridaJobs.org and select the link Request to Modify Claim (Application) Filing Effective Date."
