Palm Beach County Library System Providing Unemployment Applications

The Palm Beach County Library System is providing printed employment/reemeployment applications for those affected by COVID-19.

The forms are available at the main entrance of several library branches and library staff members are available to answer questions by phone, email and chat services seven days a week.

The state of Florida is again accepting applications for unemployment benefits by mail due to a number of issues with the Department of Economic Opportunity's website and call center.

Gov. DeSantis says the state has been working to fix the problems and by most accounts things have improved.

The form is available at the following libraries:

Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity has launched a new, mobile-friendly website where you can apply for unemployment benefits.

This after the old website kept crashing, not allowing thousands of unemployed Floridans to log on and apply for benefits. The governor this week cited improvements to the system.
