Florida H0191 aims to verify reemployment assistance benefit eligibility and detect fraud.

Florida H0191, the "Promoting Work, Deterring Fraud Act of 2026," revises the criteria for disqualifying claimants from reemployment assistance benefits. The bill mandates the Department of Commerce to verify claimants' identities before paying benefits, cross-checking information to ensure claimants are living, not incarcerated, and not already employed. It also requires the department to investigate claims with suspicious addresses or accounts and to maintain a web page for reporting violations.
