I worked full time in PA and moved to FL with my family, am i eligible for FL unemployment until I find a job?

Question

I earned $15/hour, but school loans were approximately $550 per month, which are currently deferred .  The loan payments are the reason I could not afford a residence of my own and had to quit my job and move with them. Am I eligible for unemployment until I find a job?

Answer 1

The Department of Labor's Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs provide unemployment benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own, and meet certain other eligibility requirements.

There is a detailed scrutiny done before approving UI claim of an applicant.I suggest that you go ahead and apply for compensation in FL and hope for the best.
