My employer filed on my behalf 4/19. It took DEO four weeks to get back to me to set up pin and complete my application. Told I would hear from them when processed. Finally heard May 24th. Now my page on CONNECT shows my claim was submitted 5/25, not 4/19 when it was actually submitted.

Got e-mail today to log in to request benefit payment. Their links have NEVER worked, had to log in on floridajobs.com . Waited in the virtual waiting room over an hour only to find out there is NO PLACE TO REQUEST PAYMENT. There is on the website when you first get on it, but after logging in it disapears.

Try to call "no call back feature" and they hang up. Repeated e-mails have gone unanswered. My claim was submitted 4/19, it shows I am eligible, and as of June 4th I have still not received a cent in benefits.

My May lot rent for my mobile home STILL has not been paid. My June lot rent is due now. My car payment for May has not been paid, June bill just came in today. No money for utilities or food. Everywhere I turn they just IGNORE me.

My neice, who lives in Indiana, got her first check TEN DAYS after applying. Florida DEO is pathetic. There are families with small children out there that have no food on the table because there is nowhere to turn for help!

SHAMEFULL Florida!
