Sadly, many unemployed workers in Illinois lose their unemployment benefits because they do not follow the guidelines set by the Illinois UI Agency. Protect your UI benefits by learning what requirements you must follow according to Illinois Department of Employment Security guidelines.
These guidelines are described in the State of Illinois Department of Employment Security (DES) Unemployment Insurance Benefits Handbook. This handbook provides detailed instructions on how to apply for UI benefits and protect your benefits. This article will summarize some of the main points of the handbook.
On December 17, 2010 Congress extended the EUC08 unemployment benefits program. This allows Illinois unemployed workers to continue receiving UI benefits until January 2012, in the case of EUC payments, and June, 2012, in the case of Extended Benefits. However, the EUC and EB programs vary from state to state depending on local unemployment agency guidelines and local unemployment rate. How does the extension affect Illinois workers? What benefits are Illinois unemployed workers eligible for? This article will answer these questions so are able to benefit as much as possible from these programs.
