The federal government recently told the State of Florida that it is not treating persons with disabilities and persons who are not fluent in English fairly in the Unemployment Compensation program (now called Reemployment Assistance). If you are one of those people, you may be able to complain to the government about what happened to you and get the benefits you lost.
