    Illinois Unemployment Rate

    An average of 15,000 Illinois inhabitants can lose unemployment benefits per week commencing in May if Congress does not extend federal government benefits for anyone needing work in excess of six months, a state official claims.

    About 270,000 Hoosiers are presently receiving unemployment benefits, said Marc Lotter, communications director to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

    Benefits fall under one of six stages. The first is state lack of employment, and that is constantly accessible; the 5 additional levels include federally funded extensions. Each and every stage supplies a new number of weeks of benefits, with all of six jointly amassing as much as 99 weeks, Lotter said.

    Illinois residents currently receiving unemployment benefits stand to lose their payments

    100 0388 thumb Keep Illinois from losing unemployment benefits  An estimated 65,000 Illinois residents currently receiving unemployment benefits stand to lose their payments by the first week in March if Congress doesn’t authorize another extension before Feb. 27. According to the National Employment Law Project. 
    Another 290,000 unemployed workers will lose their benefits by June.


    The federal government funded several tiers of unemployment extensions, totaling 73 weeks, on top of the state’s regular 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. The federal funding was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and was set to expire Dec. 31, but Congress crammed a two-month extension into a military spending bill. That funding authorization expires Feb. 28.
