re: #916 midwestgak

OT: Anyone unemployed in IL? Did you know you cannot apply on line for unemployment benefits if you do not have access to Internet Explorer? Safari is not an acceptable avenue to do so.

Did you further know that severance pay does not mean you cannot apply?

Arg. Ignorance of how things work is my bad.

know that about IE vs. Safari, but if you got severance pay, you can apply for unemployment in Illinois. At the end of the first term, you can re-up for another term as well. Just keep calling into the system everyother week as IDES asks for, and you should be fine.
