Unemployment
Hi, I was laid off from work due to Covid affecting the sales within my company January 2021. My 26 weeks is up July 12. Still looking for employment. Will Illinois unemployment extend my regular Unemployment Benefits for 13 weeks? I looked it up and cbpp.org and it states Illinois will extend an additional 13 weeks is this correct? Thank you very much for your help!

Illinois is SUPPOSED to extend the basic bne4fits another 13 weeks — although not the Federal supplement. All you can do is keep certifying and keep your fingers crossed. The system is so messed up that I have no idea whether the benefits will actually be extended. Please write back and let me know what happens!
