Can you collect unemployment in Illinois while receiving severance pay?

Yes you can. There is a formula that you can look up on the ODJFS website that will tell you the proportion of how your unemployment is adjusted based on the wages you earn. Like myself I did odd jobs for cash, while I did not have to report it, I did. And I was glad. It does not adjust dollar for dollar, in my case I had to make over $800 in a week before I would receive $0 in unemployment. But why I was happy I did, it allowed my unemployment to last longer payment wise. It allowed me to take more time to find the RIGHT job, and not just the first job.

You cannot collect unemployment while you collect wages, so if you are paid while on maternity leave, you probably cannot collect unemployment. You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
