Unemployed Floridians who want to continue receiving benefits after this month will have to start showing proof they’re searching for a job.
The state’s work search requirement has been waived since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last year when businesses were forced to shut down or scale back operations. The waiver allows people to claim unemployment benefits without the requirement of having to reach out to five prospective employers each week.
But that waiver is now set to expire on May 29.
