Unemployment Benefits

By Terry Savage on December 29, 2020 | Wild Card

Terry – WHEN will the “new” $300 unemployment benefit go into effect? I see President Trump signed the bill…finally. When can we see the funds please ? It’s been rough. This is for Illinois.

Terry Says

Well, the delay cost a week if your benefits (PUA) expired last week– and it cost one week of the $300. But “theoretically” the extra $300 should hit your benefits with your next check. On the other hand, IDES is such a mess that it will be a wonderful surprise if that happens on time with the next check you receive!
