Construction workers who have their hours reduced due to the coronavirus shutdown should be eligible for unemployment in Florida. And, if you qualify for unemployment, then the $600 benefit would be available. With that being said, I'm not sure what the exact threshold is for reduced hours - if there is one. You can apply here: Florida Reemployment Assistance. For more information on how the stimulus bill can help those in the construction industry: What’s in the $2 Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus Bill For Construction Businesses & Their Workers?
