Reemployment Assistance (formerly called unemployment compensation) provides temporary wage benefits to qualified individuals who are out of work through no fault of their own.
CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia can provide a computer as well as Internet, phone and fax access so that you can apply for Reemployment Assistance benefits, claim your weeks, search for employment or get assistance with scholarship funding that may be able to secure employment within in-demand occupations.

Please note staff members are not employed by Florida’s Reemployment Assistance program and therefore cannot determine or offer opinions on anyone’s eligibility for benefits.
The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program is designed to address the reemployment needs of RA claimants. Individuals filing RA claims may be selected to participate in the state’s RESEA program. Participants are made aware of, and referred to, a variety of reemployment services.

Prior to your RESEA Appointment
Florida’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) often referred to as Food Stamps, requires all Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWDs) age 18-54 and Mandatory Work Participants (MWPs) age 55-59 must participate in the SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program.
The goal of the SNAP E&T program is to help unemployed recipients of food assistance benefits find work. CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia (CSBFV) oversees the SNAP E&T program for Brevard, Flagler and Volusia counties in partnership with FloridaCommerce. Learn more about SNAP Work Requirements.

The information provided below is your guide through the work registration process, which includes orientation, an assessment, and scheduling an Employment & Training intake session with a CSBFV career advisor.
Each of these steps contains time-sensitive deadlines that, if not met, may affect the continuance of your Food Assistance benefit. It is important that you read the requirements carefully.
