For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn't even figure out how to accept it.

but they couldn't even figure out how to accept it. Today, I met with @elonmusk and the DOGE team, and we got this done in the same day. Other states should follow Florida in supporting DOGE's efforts!

Re:
Returning Federal Taxpayer Dollars
At the direction of Governor DeSantis and following his meeting with Elon Musk today, the State of Florida is formally returning $878,112,000.00 in taxpayer dollars to the federal government as part of DOGE’s efforts. The specifics are below. We will also continue to identify other unused or surplus federal funding granted to Florida and determine if further refunds can be made. We hope our actions serve as a model for other states to follow.

Because my husband’s job relocated him from NY to CA, I had to quit my job and was getting unemployment checks for (I think) three months.

In CA, I found a job quickly and called the Unemployment Office in NY to tell them to stop sending checks because I was working. Dead silence. Then the woman said that “Nobody ever does that.” She said they didn’t know how to make the checks stop. The checks kept coming.

I sent a registered letter, but never heard back. That was in 2002.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say. “My GOP D’bag”, huh?

Are you upset that Florida wouldn’t jump through Woke DC’s hoops to get the cash? Sounds like a principled stand to me.

Back in the 70s I was in the Air Force and decided to take a course and pay for it with money from the VA (about $130 I think. A LOT of money in those days, especially to me). I later decided not to take the course and wanted to return the money, but didn't know how. I wrote, and called and finally talked to a guy who thought I was insane and said something like "We have no way to take money back. Go out for a night on the town with it.".
