FL has no state income tax, so FL has nothing to do with whether you need to file a tax return. If your only income was Social Security you do not need to file a federal tax return. If you had other income in addition to the SS, you might need to file a federal tax return.
Who has to file?

Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are to be entered on a federal tax return. The benefits may be taxable depending on the amount of other income you have entered on your tax return.
However, if the Social Security benefits are the Only income to be reported on the tax return, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return.
