The system is just as corrupt and a mess as all the other state government systems in this third-world country called Florida. I was denied unemployment benefits even though I worked full time last year until Dec. 7th when I was suddenly laid off but because half of that year I worked for a company in TX (and reported all of that on the application) the system conveniently did not take that into account. When I try calling the 1-800 number to get this resolved, it just keeps going to the automated message saying all their lines are busy and I should call back later. What system doesn't allow you to at least have the option to hold or leave a message, unless they purposely want to make it impossible for you to EVER speak with an actual human. Governor Scott and the state legislators should be embarrassed and not be surprised when governors of other states refer to FL as a third world country.
