Unresponsive IDES, no call back since july!

By Terry Savage on March 08, 2021 | Wild Card

I filed for unemployment in July of 2020 and I received 4 payments beginning about 2 weeks afterward in their debit card. I’ve never received another unemployment check. I called in July and have been expecting a call back ever since. I’ve tried calling again but it rejects me saying effectively that i am already in their queue. Is there any other method to get some action from the.

Are you aware of any consideration of a class action lawsuit for their incompetence on distribution on IDES payments?

Terry Says

Actually, I asked one of Chicago’s great class action attorneys to lead such a lawsuit! He declined. But this is ridiculous.
The head of IDES is Kristin Richards. Her direct email is Kristin.Richards@illinois.gov. I suggest you email her, giving all the details above, and including your claimant number and telephone number.
You might want to copy the governor’s assistant claire.Lindberg@Illinois.gov. And your state representative.
