I was working full time I was dismiss am I allowed to open a claim? I am receiving SSI.

A) Yes, you can typically file for unemployment benefits if you were dismissed from your full-time job. The fact that you are receiving SSI does not necessarily disqualify you.

However, it’s important to note that each state has its own specific eligibility requirements. To determine if you qualify for unemployment benefits in Florida, I recommend contacting the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. They can provide you with the most accurate information based on your specific circumstances.

Here are some resources that may be helpful:

• Florida Department of Economic Opportunity: https://www.floridajobs.org/
• Reemployment Assistance: https://www.floridajobs.org/

By contacting these resources, you can get personalized guidance and ensure that you are taking the necessary steps to file for unemployment benefits if you are eligible.
