Unemployment Help Center

Signe from West chester asks:

I have a friend who was recently told he no longer had a job as a florist in the state of Florida. Can you collect unemployment if you have been fired or just if you are laid off because the company cannot afford to keep you on.

Statepay support representative suggests:

Thank you for your question. It is rather difficult to qualify for unemployment insurance if you have been fired. However, if you have been laid off, there is a very good chance that you may qualify - file ASAP to see if you, in fact, qualify.
