Can my parents kick me out on the spot?

I’m 24 years old. I moved in with my parents 10 months ago because I finished my Masters program and wanted to relocate from Connecticut to Florida. I’ve been trying my hardest to get a job but with this job market, employers are hiring people with experience over people fresh out of school. To make matters more difficult, I’ve been disabled since birth and cannot drive so that limits my employment opportunities (I can’t do retail, waiting/serving, burger flipping, etc.) My parents are threatening to kick me out because they feel I’ve had enough time to get a job. I recieve Social Security and food stamps for my disability. I pay for all of my own groceries, but I do not pay rent because they want me to save my money. I offer to pay rent, but they won’t accept it. My social security payment is not enough to pay full rent & untilities for my own apartment.

Given my circumstances, can they just throw me out on the street? What are the legalities behind this? Wouldn’t they have to go through an eviction process? I’m looking for an intelligent, legal-based (Florida law) answer, not “You’re an adult, grow up and move out!” My circumstance is different than a lazy adult who doesn’t want to move out.
