I would bet you’d lose your benefits.

Generally you would continue to get benefits from the original state.
Just let Florida UI (unemployment insurance) program know what your new address is, and do is as SOON as you get where you’re going. The benefits should not be interrupted as long as you let them know. They’ll most likely want you to keep doing what you were doing in order to meet the requirements that you had while in Florida. They’ll also want you to register as a job seeker in the state you move to as soon as you can. In Texas, its workintexas.com. In California, its caljobs.ca.gov. Anyhow, the best place to find where you can register AS A JOB SEEKER, is servicelocator.org. It’s pretty user-friendly. But as for your question, the ui benefits won’t ‘transfer’ anywhere. They just follow you where you go. In order for you to have ui benefits in any state is for you to have earned wages there.
