On December 29th, those unemployed in Illinois who have exhausted their unemployment benefits will no longer receive emergency unemployment compensation, according to an Illinois current federal law. Congress need to re-authorize these EUC benefits for their unemployed.
Why is this important?
People who have worked for many years and have found themselves unemployed have yet another hurdle to contend with as of December 29th when the unemployed in Illinois will learn that Congress has ended their rights to extended unemployment benefits.. It doesn't matter to Congress how long you've been in the workforce, that your families will suffer or that for many out of work, the EUCO8 is their only means for survival..
"If EUC benefits are re-authorized by Congress, IDES will notify unemployed exhaustees of any potential benefits"
How dare people be subjected to such level of disregard ! This current federal law should be stopped in Illinois and worldwide. Please join us in Illinois to ask the President and Congress to put a stop to this deadline of unemployment denial occurring December 29th.
