CARES ACT - New Unemployment Benefits
Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) - provides up to the normal state-level
unemployment assistance (in Florida this is "Reemployment assistance) to those not traditionally eligible -
the self-employed or contract employees. The amount of benefit you qualify for depends on your
earnings, up to $275 per wk.
► Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) - provides an
additional $600 per week to any individual eligible under Florida law for Reemployment Assistance. This
$600 will be paid on top of whatever State-level weekly benefit you qualify for, regardless of that amount. This
benefit is available for four months (in Florida this will be for weeks claimed March 29, 2020 —July 31, 2020.) This
$600 is paid retroactive back to April 5t". Despite the delay in getting this payments out, these will be paid
retroactively from week ending April 4t"
Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) - allows for an
additional 13 weeks of State-level benefits added to the end of regular Reemployment Assistance benefits.
This means claimants may collect unemployment benefit for a longer period of time than the State normally allows,
which is 12 weeks. So, for Floridians the benefit will be paid for 25 weeks. (Remember this is for the state-level
benefit, not the $600.)
