In Florida, your weekly benefit amount is calculated by dividing your total earnings for the highest paid quarter of the base period by 26, up to a current maximum of $275 per week. You can receive benefits for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks, depending on Florida's current unemployment rate.
Unemployment benefits, of course, are intended to provide temporary financial relief to the jobless. As such, thereâs a limit to how long you can collect. Most states distribute benefits for a maximum of 26 weeks. However, due to the high unemployment rate, lawmakers have allowed states to temporarily extend benefits for an additional 13 weeks.
