Florida unemployment compensation benefits are increasing by $25 a week due to federal stimulus funding.
Gov. Charlie Crist signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor to increase weekly unemployment benefits by $25 per week.
The increased benefits take effect starting Feb. 22, a release from Crist’s office said. Funding comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the release said.
The $787 billion economic stimulus package includes $12.2 billion for Florida over three years, the release said.
Some of the stimulus funding is included in the proposed $66.5-billion state budget for 2009-10 proposed by Crist. The proposed budget will create or retain 314,590 jobs, the release said.
