Florida Reemployment Assistance News
Work Registration Process
Work registration and job search requirement waivers expired on May 29. This means that all Reemployment Assistance (unemployment compensation) claimants filing for benefit weeks prior to March 15, 2020 and after May 29, 2021 are once again required to start the work registration process by registering with Employ Florida and providing five work search contacts per week or obtain staff-assisted career services with CareerSource CLM.
CareerSource CLM does not administer RA — that is done by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity — but can assist with the registration and job search process.
For all new claims with an effective date on or after January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the duration of benefits adjusts from the current maximum of 12 to 19 weeks. The maximum weekly benefit amount will remain at $275.
