ORLANDO, Fla. – The Department of Economic Opportunity reminded Floridians to not claim benefits checks received after the date the claimant returned to work.
The DEO website shows if you applied for unemployment before March 15, 2020, you may continue to request benefit weeks up to when you started working.
The site also shows when you request the week overlapping with your job the person should indicate they have returned to worked and earned money during the week.
If a person expects to work full-time and/or earn over $275 in gross during the week of overlap, they do not need to request benefits for that week, according to the DEO site.
