Unemployment Insurance
Apply for benefits, certify claims, and review payment options.
Unemployment insurance claims and benefit certification are central services of the Illinois Department of Employment Security. The Chicago-based state agency helps eligible claimants apply for benefits, manage payment methods, upload documents, and access 1099-G tax forms. IDES also provides job and workforce resources through IllinoisJobLink.com, the Illinois Career Information System, Illinois workNet, veteran services, and labor market information. Additional assistance includes appeals information, forms and publications, overpayment guidance, fraud reporting, and referrals to child care, health insurance, and food assistance resources. Eligible claimants and small employers may receive free legal consultation or representation at IDES administrative hearings through contracted private law firms. Contact information, virtual job fairs, and voter registration resources are also available.
