Illinois unemployment eligibility is based on a few variables. These items include the amount of wages earned in the quarters leading up to the job separation, the reason for departure from the job, and a continued job search. The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) is responsible for managing applications and processing unemployment in the state. The following is a guide to understanding the eligibility requirements to receive unemployment benefits in Illinois.
Illinois unemployment benefits are calculated based on wages earned during a base period. The base period consists of the first for of the last five completed quarters. A single quarter consists of a three month time period. In order to qualify, $1,600 or more must be earned outside of the highest quarter in the base period. People who do not qualify due to insufficient wages earned may qualify for the use of an alternate base period. The Illinois Department of Employment Security can provide additional information for the procedure to handle this situation.
The second wage-related requirement to collect unemployment benefits in Illinois is that an insured employer must earn the wages. An insured employer is one who paid unemployment insurance to the State of Illinois as required by law.
