Changes in Duration of Florida Unemployment Benefits Effective January 1, 2012

For all claims filed on or after January 1, 2012, the duration of benefits adjusts from the current maximum of 26 weeks to a range of 12 to 23 weeks, based upon the average unemployment rate in Florida for the third calendar quarter of the previous year. 

The change in duration of benefits is projected to save the state's Unemployment Trust Fund an estimated $103 million annually.

You can find complete information on the Department of Economic Opportunity's website for Unemployment Compensation.
