Regular unemployment benefits: If you meet the eligibility requirements of the law, you will have some income while you are looking for a job, up to a maximum of 26 full weeks in a one-year period.
Extended Unemployment Insurance Benefits:
Chicago - Under a new federal law that took effect on November 21, 2009, up to 20 weeks' worth of emergency unemployment compensation (EUC) benefits are now available for eligible individuals. Previously, individuals could only receive up to 13 weeks' worth of EUC benefits.
Eligible individuals who exhausted their rights to EUC benefits, based on the previous 13-week maximum, can receive up to seven more weeks' worth, for weeks beginning on or after November 23, 2009. IDES will notify those individuals of their certification days. The earliest possible certification day for those individuals will be December 8th.
Those claiming Illinois unemployment insurance can be paid a maximum of 26 weeks of standard benefits throughout the year. Extra weeks of benefits may be available via the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

∙ 9y agoThe length of time that unemployment benefits are available for in Illinois is up to 25 weeks. However, if you are still unemployed after that time, you may be eligible for Emergency Unemployment Compensation.

∙ 11y agoUnder normal circumstances, benefits accrue for a maximum of 26 weeks. Due to the current recession the Federal Government provides emergency unemployment compensation for a maximum of an additional 73 weeks for a total of up to 99 weeks. Absent a new law being passed, this emergency benefit program ends on January 3, 2013.
If you received more than 26 weeks of unemployment as of January 3, 2013, even if you have received less than 99 weeks total benefits, your benefits completely terminate as the additional benefits above 26 weeks are a federally funded program that ends funding on 1/3/2013.
If you received less than 26 weeks by January 3, 2013, as long as you remain eligible you continue to receive benefits after that date until you have received 26 weeks of benefits, at which point your benefits completely terminate.

It takes time for the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) to process your claim and calculate your benefits. If everything is in order, you should receive your first benefit check within 2-3 weeks of filing.

Can you collect unemployment from California if you temporarily move to Illinois?
Yes, you can collect unemployment insurance if you have worked in Hawaii but moved to California. Even if you think you do not have enough in Hawaii's unemployment insurance to collect. I worked in California all my life and was offered a job in Hawaii in October 2008. I worked until March 2009 and then tried to collect while i lived in Hawaii. I was denied befits in Hawaii in March 2009, so I moved back to California and could not find work so i collected unemployment in California. It was a knowledgeable person in California EDD that recommended that i file in Hawaii versus California because of the amount i would collect there was a lot more than i collected here. I told them I was denied benefits over there because i did not work long enough over there (hence; i did not put enough money in Hawaii's Kitty) So California's EDD said they would transfer what I put in California's unemployment insurance to Hawaii's unemployment insurance, then that would make me eligible to collect.
