Hello,
I will be loosing my job after 9 years at the same company in April. I collected unemployment a long long time ago. I think back then it was a percentage of my annual salary, but I cannot remember. Does anyone know what I can expect if it is a percentage?
I was laid off right after I found out I was pregnant...
Your amount depends on your salary and dependants. My check was slightly less than half of my salary so make wise spending decisions until you can replace the difference.
I was lucky enough to have a husband who didn't want me to go back to work (since I was pregnant), now I've started an at home business and love it.
GOOD LUCK!

I copied this from the IDES website. The minimum amount of benefits for an individual is $51 a week, and the maximum is $369 per week. Claimants with non-working spouses can receive up to $439 per week, and up to $511 a week with dependent children. However, your benefits depend on your unique circumstances. Here is a link to the benefits table. http://www.ides.state.il.us/pdf/benefits/wba.pdf Good luck.
That post about IDES is correct. My boyfriend works in a trade where he gets laid off often and the max he could collect was $369!
Hi L., you will get 511.00 a week if you have a non working spouce and or a dep. that is under 18
