Q. Where do I go to file for unemployment?

Filing for unemployment(also called re-employment assistance), goes through the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Their "Apply for Benefits" page is linked here.  This is where you can file for unemployment.

To contact the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity directly, you can:

• Call the hotline at  1-800-204-2418.
• Call the General Information Number at 850-245-7105
• Use their help center linked here to email your office of choice
  • To access the email click on the "Remployment Assistance Help Center" link and it will take you through a series of FAQ prompts. If your question cannot be answered through an FAQ than, you will be provided with a contact page where you can put your information and an agent will get back to you. 

Another alternative is Career Source Suncoast. They have information for searching for jobs, hiring events, SNAP, and more including "Reemployment Assistance". 

Their "contact us" page provides a web form to email them, as well as their three Career Center locations and phone numbers.
