Proposed Rules 60BB-3.0261, 60BB-3.0262, and 60BB-3.0263, Florida Administrative Code, and the forms incorporated by reference into these proposed rules were under review by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee. On September 17, 2010, the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee directed the attention of the Agency for Workforce attention to a problem with the language in one of the forms incorporated by reference into Proposed Rule 60BB-3.0262, to-wit: EB BRI (7/10), Extended Benefits Benefit Rights Information. The language at issue is: “Failure to meet the EB work search requirements or to accept suitable work in any given week will result in a denial of further benefits until you have worked in at least four (4) different weeks and earned four (4) times your weekly benefit amount.”
The Agency has amended this form in response to the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee’s comments. Now the language of EB BRI (9/10), Extended Benefits Benefit Rights Information reads as follows: “Failure to apply for, or accept an offer of, suitable work in any given week will result in a denial of further benefits until you have worked in at least four (4) different weeks and earned seventeen (17) times your weekly benefit amount. Failure to furnish tangible evidence of a systematic and sustained effort to find work will result in a denial of further benefits until you have worked in at least four (4) different weeks and earned four (4) times your weekly benefit amount.”
