This crisis with COVID-19 has only reaffirmed what many Florida’s residents knew many years ago: The system was designed (intentionally) to avoid people obtain their unemployment insurance, and to push the Floridians back to work, not to supply them with income during a real crisis.

By the way… I applied for Unemployment Compensation on 3/22/2020. Today 4/23/2020, a month later and they have no decision about my case yet !

In reply to JEWELL SMITH.

Yes this is insane. I’ve had my application in since April 7th and have been in pending (under review) since then . You can’t reach anyone and can’t get help. I have non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and I’m completely broke and my credit is maxed . I haven’t had any income in a month and I’m completely stuck. Somebody needs to help. And yes since the state and federal funds are different then at least allow us to access the federal funds. I’ve been working full time for years and my place of employment closed due to covid19 so yes I qualify . I just need some damn help . I’m sadly close to doing something stupid because I need money to survive .

In reply to John. I also speculate that we may not get back dated pay despite claiming previous weeks (for those that were even able to enroll). I think it is partly intentional so that people don't get their money.

In reply to Tish. Glad to finally read someone out of thousands that received a payment. Did your weekly benefit include the additional $600. Also did your claim status ever change from a “pending” status. Holding on to HOPE

Applied March 17, got claim number, claimed weeks on 3-22 and 3-38 Status pending.
The website is a horror and you can’t talk to anyone on the phone. My status is still pending. The web site is not working and you can’t talk to a human on the phone. If the president can coordinate getting the stimulus checks out to the entire country in a short time why can’t the state take care of it’s people.

In reply to John J O’Brien. Still waiting after a month. Emails by the 100’s and calls in 1000’s with NO ANSWER or email response. I’m with the CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!! We will all remember this at election time. We need to replace DeSantis and especially Rick Scott . They are responsible for this horrific FAILURE!!!
