New guidance from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for independent contractors: If you submitted an unemployment application on or before April 4, 2020, YOU NEED TO APPLY AGAIN. If you submitted your application on or after April 5, 2020, you do not need to reapply. In both cases, independent contractors will be denied state benefits when DEO processes your application. Once denied, DEO will contact you with instructions on how to apply for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits. This DEO flowchart helps explain the process.

It is being reported that Congress has not yet reached consensus on how to replenish the Paycheck Protection fund and reports are that the initial 350 billion allocated it fully committed. Florida REALTORS® is working to find out if applications can continue to be submitted until Congress votes to replenish the fund.
