Three Rivers Legal Services Helps Floridians Applying for Reemployment Assistance Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

GAINESVILLE, FL - As unemployment claims continue climbing due to the job losses caused by coronavirus, more Floridians need access to critical unemployment assistance to help pay their rent and keep food on the table.

 

“Unemployment benefits are critical to helping Floridians remain stable now and recover financially after the pandemic ends,” explained Christine E. Larson, Three Rivers Legal Services’ executive director. “However, many Floridians are still having difficulty accessing unemployment benefits.”

 

Three Rivers Legal Services’ attorneys and advocates are available to provide free, legal assistance to individuals to Floridians who have questions about their eligibility for state or federal unemployment benefits, including denials of applications, terminations of benefits or questions about their benefit amount.

 

With offices in Gainesville, Jacksonville and Lake City, Three Rivers Legal Services is assisting low-income clients in Northeast Florida facing civil legal problems stemming from the pandemic. For the health and safety of our clients and team, we are not currently taking in-person applications. However, anyone in need of civil legal help can call our legal helpline at 1-866-256-8091 or apply for help through our website at trls.org.

 

“From evictions and foreclosures, to dealing with domestic violence during the quarantine, our advocates are available to help people with their civil legal needs,” said Larson.
