Www.fluidnow.com is the website where laid-off workers can find the Florida’s Internet Claims Filing System (FLUID) and use it to file Florida unemployment claims online. This site is brought to you by the Department Economic Opportunity (DEO) of the state of Florida.

On fluidnow.com, you can learn detailed information on how to apply for Florida unemployment compensation claims. They have a step-by-step tutorial which is very helpful for new claimers.

In general there are several steps that you have to go through during the online Florida UC filing process.

1. You need to make sure that you are eligible for the unemployment benefits. You need to meet all the eligibility requirements including both monetary eligibility and non-monetary eligibility. You should provide all your information accurately and you should understand that unemployment compensation fraud is a crime.

2. After reading and understanding the UC fraud statement, you have a choice to continue to file the claim. The whole online filing process will not take you too much time and usually you can finish it within half an hour to one hour.

3. During the process of filing for unemployment benefits online, you need to provide several pieces of information regarding your identity and your previous employment history. For instance, you will be asked for your social security number, your driver’s license number, your previous employers’ contact information and so on. Non-US-citizens also have to provide their alien registration number. Previous military personnel may also have to have their DD214 ready. And previous federal employees may need their W-2, SF50 and SF-8 forms. The details about the required information can be found in the Florida’s Internet Claims Filing System Tutorial.

4. Answer all the questions very carefully. After finishing each step, you should do a double-check to make sure that all information you provided are correct, and then move onto the next step. That is because during the filling process, you will not allow to make any correction of the information you have input. Only at the end of the application, you are allowed to preview your application. At that time, you have an only chance to correct your information.

5. Once your UC claim submitted, you will get a confirmation number.

6. In order to get your UC claim approved, you also need to finish the Initial skills review, which is required by law. And they may use the information you provided to help find a new job.
