i received an overpayment notice from illinois pua unemployment and filed an appeal. how do i know if the appeal is received and how long it will take to get a response. thank you

Terry Says

You don’t. And no one will have any idea. But until your appeal is resolved, certainly don’t send any money back. The latest CARES act clearly specified that states do not have to require paybacks of overpayments. Hopefully, Illinois will get around to recognizing that and stop tormenting unemployed people for calculations that the state made in error!
