Why this petition matters

Started by Lynn Radice

Create a working unemployment system, immediately for timely payments. Why are we accepting the fact that many are not being paid? The unemployment numbers are wrong if you cannot get into the system. We need accountability from Deloitte,about a broken system they cannot fix for months,  the Governor and an audit of the federal pandemic assistance money allocated to Florida. 

Calling on an audit of unemployment system, Deloitte, unemployment funds, and the federal pandemic assistance money that was allocated to Florida. 

Attention all leaders in Florida: this will affect your re-election. This is your problem. This needs to be fixed. I am calling on a Florida audit of the unemployment system, the funds, and the federal pandemic unemployment funds that were distributed. Your citizens are being blocked and kicked out of an archaic system. Where are the funds? Is this what social security, Medicare and Medicaid payments will look like in a few years? No ability to get a check, no recourse, no one to call ? Truly I am doing this for now and for the future. 

All public salaries should be on hold until you fix a system for millions of your taxpayers who are not being paid. Why should you be able to collect a salary when they cannot?

This is not a week or a month. This system has not paid people for months and this is federal and state money that needs to be distributed. Florida was allocated pandemic funds and Loan money. We need an audit of those funds in that much of it did not get to the citizens.  It had to go through their broken unemployment system. I have contacted the Governor and Senator many times with no correction. They continue to pass the buck. 

Please fix the government funded unemployment system in Florida that is funded by our tax dollars and is not paying people money they are owed!

Please go into the system together and try it! Florida Governor and House and Senate should go through the system to see what their citizens have to struggle with.  Florida did not get paid their federal pandemic money. I am calling for an audit of the federal pandemic money that Florida citizens were allocated, the entire unemployment funds and system. You are personally putting people out of their homes, having single moms and people go homeless. The food banks are empty.

Please fire Deloitte and create an unemployment system that will not kick people off, send checks to wrong people, not send checks out, reject wrong people, be understaffed, and please duplicate the same system of other states. We need a system that pays people in a timely manner and is easily completed. We need to be able to access federal funds that were allocated to Florida.
