Our Organization and Mission:

 

The Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission, also referred to as “RAAC” or the “Commission,” is the quasi-judicial administrative appellate body responsible for reviewing contested decisions of FloridaCommerce hearing officers. The Commission is comprised of a Chairman and two Commissioners, each appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the Senate, and is 100% federally funded. The Commission is housed within FloridaCommerce; however, it operates as an independent review body.

 

 

The Work You Will Do:

The Difference You Will Make:

 

You will help to ensure that the dispositions of reemployment assistance appeals are legally correct, both substantively and procedurally, and are processed in accordance with state and federal timeliness standards.    

 

 

How You Will Grow: 

 

This position provides an opportunity to develop legal skills and experience, foster working relationships with reemployment assistance professionals, and obtain experience working for a quasi-judicial administrative entity.  RAAC provides extensive in-house training and also encourages its employees to take advantage of FloridaCommerce and USDOL trainings, which are made available throughout the year, as well as Florida Bar continuing legal education courses.
