Important Information on the Extended Benefit (EB) Program

Florida Extended Benefits (EB) Program is ending.
To receive benefits under the EB Program you must establish an EB claim no later than May 6, 2012. However,the last week that EB can be paid is May 12, 2012 regardless of any benefits remaining on the claim.
For individuals to continue to receive Extended Benefits (EB), Florida must be triggered “on” an EB period. The EB period is controlled by the average rate of unemployment in Florida. As of the week ending April 21, 2012, Florida’s unemployment rate has declined below the level needed to allow the payment of EB.
EB will remain available for three weeks following April 21, 2012. Florida will pay EB through the week ending May 12, 2012.  New EB claims will continue to be taken through the week beginning May 6, 2012.  No new EB claims can be accepted after the week ending May 12, 2012.
