DEO quarterly reapplication confusion - Connect vs new website?

same thing happened 2 me last month. its confusing AF but you NEED to use CONNECT still for the quarter change reapplication. the new website is just for initial applications. when I called they said everyones getting confused by this. took me 4 days of calling to get thru to anyone

You definitely need to use CONNECT for your quarterly reapplication. Here's the exact process: 1. Log into your CONNECT account 2. On your home page, there should be a task that says "Requalify for Benefits" 3. Click on this task and follow the prompts 4. You'll need to update your employment history for the previous quarter 5. Verify your work search activities are up to date (5 per week) 6. Submit and you should see a confirmation screen The quarterly reapplication is required by Florida law to verify you still meet eligibility requirements. Don't worry - it's not a full application, just updating information for the new quarter.

When I had to do my quarterly thing in January I thought I lost my benefits cuz I did it wrong lol. Turns out I clicked something wrong in CONNECT and had to get it fixed. Just make sure you read everything carefully!

I just went through this last week! One thing nobody mentioned is that when you do the quarterly reapplication in CONNECT, make sure your wage information matches what you reported previously. If there are any discrepancies, they'll flag your account for review and it can delay your payments.

After spending 15+ years working with the FL unemployment system, I can confirm that quarterly reapplications MUST be done through CONNECT. The DEO's new website is only for initial applications and some specialized programs. One critical tip: if you're having trouble accessing CONNECT or getting errors during your quarterly reapplication, you need to speak with a DEO agent ASAP. Many people waste weeks trying to fix technical issues themselves. I recently discovered a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that gets you through to DEO agents without the endless busy signals and disconnects. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj Far better than spending days redialing only to get disconnected after waiting on hold. Especially useful for resolving these quarterly reapplication issues before they affect your payment schedule.

Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to submit the quarterly reapplication? Mine keeps saying "Unable to process request at this time" after I hit submit. I've tried 3 different browsers and even my phone. So frustrating!

my cousin works at a carrer source and she said alot of people r confused by this lol ur not alone!

heads up - make sure u claim all ur weeks BEFORE doing the quarterly thing. my buddy did it backwards and his payments got delayed by 3 weeks

Just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to complete your quarterly reapplication in CONNECT? Did everything go smoothly?
