Not a government website
This website is privately operated. It is not the Florida Department of Commerce, not CareerSource Florida, not the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission, and not any other state, federal, county or municipal government body. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, affiliated with, or connected to any of them. Any reference to a government office, system name, form number, statute or publication is descriptive only and does not imply any relationship.
Reemployment Assistance claims are filed with the Florida Department of Commerce through its Reconnect system. Nothing can be filed through this site, and this site cannot check, grant, deny, expedite or look up the status of any claim. Go directly to floridajobs.org to file or manage a claim.
We are not employment law attorneys or benefits counselors
The people who publish this site are not attorneys, licensed benefits counselors, accredited representatives, or government employees. No one here is qualified to advise you on your specific claim, and no one here is trying to.
Information only — no advice, no opinion
Everything on this site is general information compiled from publicly available government sources — the Florida Statutes, Florida Department of Commerce and FloridaJobs.org publications, and the Florida Department of Revenue's employer guidance — and presented as a plain summary of what those sources say. It is not legal advice, employment advice, or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to take or refrain from any action.
Reading this site, using the calculator on it, or contacting anyone associated with it does not create an attorney-client relationship or any other professional or fiduciary relationship.
Eligibility for Reemployment Assistance turns on facts — your specific wage history, the exact reason your employment ended, your ongoing ability and availability for work — that general information cannot account for. Before you rely on any figure here, file a claim, or decide how to respond to a determination or appeal, consult a qualified professional or contact the Florida Department of Commerce directly.
No warranty of accuracy or currency
Benefit amounts, durations, work-search requirements, forms, statutes and agency practice change. Florida's own maximum benefit duration is not fixed — it moves with the state's unemployment rate — and the underlying statute and agency guidance are subject to legislative and administrative revision at any time. Content here may be out of date, incomplete, or simply wrong.
We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that any statement here is accurate, current or complete. All content is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on this site.
Verify every figure against the official source before acting on it. The Sources list on the home page links the government documents this site was drawn from.
Calculators and tools
The weekly benefit estimator on this site is an arithmetic illustration that applies Florida's published formula to a number you type in. It does not know your actual wage records, your monetary eligibility, your job-separation circumstances, your work-search compliance, or Florida's unemployment rate at the time your claim is filed. It does not produce a benefit determination and it is not a substitute for the monetary determination Reconnect issues after you file an actual claim.
External links
Links to government and third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or accuracy. A link is not an endorsement, and no link implies any affiliation or partnership. Search results in this subject area contain private websites designed to resemble official Reemployment Assistance pages, and some solicit fees for services the state provides for free — confirm you are on floridajobs.org before entering any personal information or paying anyone to file a claim on your behalf.
Corrections
If you find something on this site that is inaccurate or out of date, the official source linked on the page is authoritative and should be followed over anything published here.
