  May 2019 - Present

  I aggressively seek to understand the ever evolving Florida unemployment maze that has been designed to keep benefits out of Floridians' hands at every turn and relay this information to as many people as possible to assist those in receiving the most modest benefits in the country. Currently, the maximum weekly benefit amount in Florida is $275 which is one of the absolute dead last in this country and was last adjusted in 1998, the year Google was founded two and a half decades ago. Sadly, many claimants including self employed and mixed income earners receive less than half of that all while the DEO has admittedly garnished pay at 40% erroneously for many claimants, consistently made securing and keeping benefits unreasonably difficult, and roll out benefits at a pace slower than any other state in this nation. Our leaders have made their priorities clear. Pay attention to your leaders and get involved, Legislation will be written soon to enhance, extend and increase unemployment benefits for Florida, it is imperrative you make your voice heard. You can do this in several ways:Tell your video story Follow Faces Of Florida On YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJEHWMfT2_2u_qbFegBZe6w for other Floridians's videos then Send Your Unemployment Video To FacesOfFlorida2021@gmail.comIf you are a mixed income earner (W-2 & 1099) tell your story here https://www.mixedincome.org/formRepresentative Anna V.
