Yes Ruben, you can. Florida does not reduce UI benefits if you are receiving SSI.

Receiving Social security and Unemployment benefits
by: Susan

Is this still true or have the rules changed under Rick Scott?

Until the USDOL updates the State Unemployment Law Comparison Charts (usually sometime in the summer) you can check the
2014 Non-monetary chartbook, table 5-22.

However, I think it would be prudent to verify that chart is correct by checking prior years which included a lot more states.

You can further verify by state and read the specific changes to state laws by scrolling down on the page linked to above and using the search tool under "significant provisions of state UI law"
