The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) is the state agency that handles unemployment claims for Florida workers. DEO is the state agency responsible for paying unemployment benefits (now called "reemployment assistance benefits") to workers who lose their job and qualify for unemployment.
DEO is alerting Florida employers of a possible scam email that appears to be coming from DEO but is really an identity theft scam. The email is from "@detma.org" and is not affiliated with the DEO, Workforce Florida or Florida Reemployment Assistance. Please DO NOT to click on the link contained in the message. Reports of this email scam have come from other state's unemployment assistance agencies. DEO will never request information from employers on behalf of a third party company. If you receive email correspondence from DEO regarding unemployment compensation/reemployment assistance, the address will end in “deo.myflorida.com”.
We have included a sample of the scam email below.
