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.
However, most people who have been laid off and who are in the work force for at least six months will qualify to collect unemployment benefits. 3. Make sure your past earnings meet the requirements. States usually require you to have earned a certain amount during a one-year base period to qualify.
