I applied for reemployment benefits., Getting Status of Workforce Registration…

Q) I’ve applied for reemployment benefits but keep getting the following message: Status of Workforce Registration from Employ Florida Marketplace (EFM). I’ve done everything I’ve needed and have redone the wizard, etc., over and over just in case. I’m receiving their emails so I don’t know what else to do. And getting a human when calling anywhere has been impossible. Thank…

A)
I understand that you are having trouble with your reemployment benefits application. I am happy to help you with this.

The message “Status of Workforce Registration from Employ Florida Marketplace (EFM)” means that your workforce registration is still pending. This could be for a number of reasons, such as:

• You have not completed all of the required steps in the workforce registration process.
• There is a problem with your application.
• There is a problem with your identity verification.

If you have completed all of the required steps in the workforce registration process and you are still receiving this message, you should contact the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) at 1-800-200-9190. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and get your application approved.

Here are some additional tips for getting in touch with a human at the DEO:

• Try calling during off-peak hours, such as early in the morning or late at night.
• Try calling from a different phone number.
• Try calling from a different location.
• Try using a different method of communication, such as email or chat.

Seeing that you are not able to reach any one by phone regarding your unemployment benefit application it may be best to visit your local benefit office and speak with a counselor regarding your application.
