Illinois Department of Employment Security Reviews

Common issue
This is a common issue with unemployment nationwide around 5 percent around the end of march. Long delays are a well known issue for unemployment everywhere due to limited infrastructure and staffing. Please be patient. It is not their fault. With unemployment, you will get back pay from it. That first check is the lump sum check of back-pay. Then you re-certify from there weekly until you are back.
I am an Indiana resident and currently on a furlough as of March 20th 2020 due to the COVID19 stay at home order. I am a full time employee of a trucking company located in Illinois. My company is closed due to the COVID19 stay at home order. I also have prior employment in Illinois with other trucking companies. Whenever the stay at home order is lifted, I will return to my current employer.
It will be 6 weeks that I am on the furlough, ( Friday May 1st ) and I have not received a single penny from the Illinois unemployment office. I have contacted various individuals named in this case, however no one will respond. I have tried for several weeks to contact IDES via website, email message and phone numbers with no response. I even sent in an employment verification letter to the Carpentersville office, with no response. No one is talking! I am eligible for unemployment benefits. At this time I am demanding $5600.00 in back pay for unemployment benefits. Every week that goes by, I am due apx $900.00 worth of benefits. I am not able to connect with IDES by any and all means. It is a continuous hamster wheel of chasing my tail.
