Missing $600 federal supplement after receiving regular DEO payment - when will it arrive?

The DEO system is totally different now with federal payments. I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) last month to get through to a live agent who explained everything. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj. The agent told me federal supplements can take 3-7 days longer than regular payments. Something about separate processing systems. Worth calling to check if yours is coming or if there's an issue!

There are no more $600 federal supplements in 2025. Those were part of the FPUC program during COVID. The only federal supplements now are the FSC (Federal Supplement Compensation) which is $300/week and only available if you qualify under the new eligibility requirements established last year. Did you get a determination that you qualify for FSC? If not, you'll only receive your regular state benefits up to the $275 maximum. Check your CONNECT homepage under 'View and Maintain Account Information' and look at your monetary determination. It will show which programs you're eligible for.

I had similar issue in jaunary. THE regular payment came tuesday but federal didnt come until friday that same week. DEO processes them diffrent they told me when i FINALLY got thru on phone. Dont worry it's coming but they are slow with everything lol

The previous poster is correct - there is no $600 federal supplement anymore. The $600 FPUC ended years ago during the pandemic. Florida now has a maximum state benefit of $375 per week (increased from $275 in late 2023), and depending on economic triggers and your specific eligibility, you might qualify for the current FSC program which provides an additional $300. Check your monetary determination letter in CONNECT under the "Determination, Pending Issues and Decision Summary" section. It will specifically list which programs you qualify for. If you don't see FSC listed there, you're only eligible for regular state benefits. The DEO sends out benefits on different schedules depending on your last name and claim filing date, which is why your neighbor might receive payments on different days.

everyone always confused about the supplements. they change the rules every 6 months i swear! i thought i was getting extra $$ too but then found out i wasn't eligible for FSC because i didn't have enough work quarters or something. the DEO is TERRIBLE at explaining anything!!

Just to clarify, to qualify for the current FSC program you need: 1. Exhausted regular state benefits 2. Have earned at least 40x your weekly benefit amount in your base period 3. Be in an approved high unemployment county (DEO publishes the list monthly) 4. Have completed at least 5 verifiable work searches per week If you don't meet ALL of these requirements, you'll only receive the state benefit amount. And yes, the maximum state benefit was increased to $375 in the last Florida legislative session.

Whatever you do, make ABSOLUTELY SURE you're reporting any part-time income correctly. If you earned less than $375 but still had some income, you need to report it for each week. I missed reporting $120 from a side gig and ended up with an overpayment notice and had to appeal. NIGHTMARE. The DEO is super strict about this now.
