The multi-county hiring fair is being held to assist job seekers with their job search requirements and gain meaningful employment. Florida ended its participation in the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program and the $300 per week supplemental FPUC payment effective June 26 as part of DEO’s Return to Work initiative.

In addition, as Florida opted out of the FPUC program, the U.S. Department of Labor is requiring that Florida end its participation in the Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation program, effective June 26.
