Unemployed workers in Florida are still trying to get through to the Department of Economic Opportunity’s website to file unemployment applications. Many have been trying for weeks without success as the website cannot handle the huge surge in applications. Governor Ron DeSantis said he’s added 2,000 state workers to try to sort through the growing numbers of unemployment claims because the department must verify the Social Security number, employer and other information for each person filing for unemployment. The computer system’s capacity is also being increased. DeSantis said unemployment offices have received more than 640,000 claims since March 15, in addition to 12,000 paper applications that arrived in the mail.
