| How Do I Create A Florida Connect Account |
Signing Up: Not Quite Rocket Surgery, But Close (Ish)
There are two main types of CONNECT accounts: one for claimants (job seekers) and another for employers. Buckle up, because we're about to break it down like a bad 80s dance move.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Claimant Crew:
- You've never filed for Reemployment Assistance before? No sweat! Just head to FloridaJobs.org and click the glorious "Claimants" tab. Then, with the grace of a superhero, swoop in on that "Sign up now" button.
- Already a Reemployment Assistance veteran (pre-September 2021)? High five! You'll still need to create new credentials. Follow the same path as the newbies above.
- The Key Ingredients: All you need is a valid email address and a thirst for conquering the job market. We'll send you a verification code to make sure you're not a robot overlord in disguise (no offense to any robot overlords reading this).
Employer Entourage:
- We get it, wrangling talent can be a rodeo. That's why you need a CONNECT account to, well, wrangle some more. But hold on to your cowboy hats, creating an employer account isn't quite as simple as online shopping.
- The Not-So-Secret Weapon: You'll need to contact the Employer Assistance line (1-877-846-8770, press 5 for "other assistance"). These are the CONNECT wranglers, and they'll get you set up with a User ID and password.
Remember: Strong passwords are your shield against the forces of cyber-evil. Think complex characters, a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.

Security Measures: Because Kevin From Accounting Can't Be Trusted (Just Kidding, Kevin)
We take security seriously here in the CONNECTverse. That means Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This fancy term basically means you'll need an extra step to log in, like a code sent to your phone. It's like having a guard dog (except way less messy).
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
Now You're In! But Wait, There's More!
Congratulations, you've conquered CONNECT account creation! Now you can explore the wonders of the CONNECTverse, whether that's searching for jobs, managing unemployment claims, or finding the perfect candidate.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
But here's a friendly reminder: This guide is just the appetizer. For more in-depth information, be sure to explore the official FloridaJobs.org website.
Frequently Asked Questions (Because We Know You Have Them)
- How to find my CONNECT User ID? (If you're an employer) This one's tricky. You'll need to contact the Employer Assistance line (1-877-846-8770, press 5 for "other assistance"). They'll be your knight in shining armor.
- How long does it take to create a CONNECT account? For claimants, it should only take a few minutes. Employers will need to wait for a helping hand from the Employer Assistance line.
- How do I reset my password? Whoopsie! Head to the FloridaJobs.org website and follow the "Forgot Password" prompts. Easy peasy.
- What if I'm having trouble creating my account? Don't fret! The FloridaJobs.org website has a handy dandy "Contact Us" section.
- Can I create a CONNECT account with my phone? Currently, you can only create a CONNECT account through a computer. But hey, maybe one day we'll have a CONNECT app (patent pending on "Connectify").
