I filed on 3/23, got a letter on 4/2 stating my certification day is 4/8. I’ve heard a rumor that they are waiving the waiting week for benefits. I'll post after I certify to let you know.

@lueds24
Did the letter mention anything about the extra $600 per week from the feds? |

It did not. I haven’t heard anything about a $600 a week benifit. All I’ve heard about is a one time $1200, with an additional $500 for dependents payment for those who have an AGI up to $75000. If you make over that at tax filing the benefit is reduced. I’d be much happier with an additional $600 a week.

That would be great. I figured the way the state works that they would start paying it out after most people are back to work, since it isn't retroactive. I certified this morning and it was just to report any wages or days I was unavailable to work. It didn't say how much or when I would be paid. The letter I received is the only place I saw my benefit amount.

I’ve heard other states aren’t requiring you to verify you’d been looking for work at this time. |

My union has a hiring hall that doesn’t allow me to solicit my own work so the state doesn’t require me to document job searches.

I just checked the USPS website Informed Delivery tool (shows you an image of the front of envelopes you'll be getting that particular day). I'm getting a letter from the IL unemployment department today.

Certified on Wednesday, funds in account today. Looks like 2 weeks of benefits plus one week of the additional 600.

Well, as usual, par for the course from IL.
Got my letter today and no issues with getting unemployment benefits. The problem was the the body of the letter said mailing date was 3/31. Today is 4/10. There's no freaking way it took that long to travel the 3 hours from Springfield to the Chicago area. So we all know it was sitting there for who knows how long before it went out. My certification day is Wednesday. 2-3 business days to get your $$ after you certify. So it's possible I might not have my money until the following Monday. I'm OK financially for now, but I know a lot of other people are probably hurting. |

Own our own business so we dont qualify for state. The 600 dollar federal is going to take 7 weeks for Ill to ditribute. I guess it takes that long to skim all you can.

What do you mean the $600/week fed stuff is going to take 7 weeks for IL to distribute? There's a notice on the ILDES website that it would be included in payments issued beginning this week. Link |

I know because is we can't find anybody with a foid to hire for entry level retail gun shop positions, for our proshop. We found a few people for production but not for our attached gun/proshop. |

We found a few people for production but not for our attached gun/proshop. That's gotta suck. I know with the 600/wk I make about 50% more on unemployment than working. But mine is a temporary furlough due to work slowdown and I go back to work next week. |

The extra $600/wk from the feds only goes through July 25 or so. Unless it's extended.
