Employers may receive Fidelity Bonds, free-of-charge, as an incentive to hire hard-to-place job applicants.  Bonds issued by the Federal Bonding Program help employers offset potential risks with the job honesty of at-risk job seekers (ex-offenders, persons in substance-abuse recovery, economically disadvantaged individuals lacking work history, etc). For information, please contact 727-524-4344 and ask for assistance with the Federal Bonding Program. For more information click here.

NPCEP helps parents pay child support, obtain employment and provides guidance through the first 180 days on the job.

As of January 1, 2016, the Re-employment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) program was replaced by the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program. The RESEA program helps Re-employment Assistance (RA) claimants who are most likely to exhaust their RA benefits before finding new employment. The program also helps transitioning veterans receiving Unemployment Compensation. Customers are randomly selected and mailed a letter notifying them of their appointment date and time. If you need to change your appointment please call 727-524-4344 and ask for assistance with the RESEA.

Workers may be eligible for TAA services if they were laid off as a result of increased imports or if their companies shifted production out from the United States to certain foreign countries.
