Can a former employer change a severance agreement after signed?

Can you collect unemployment in Illinois when you have received a severance?

Yes, but tread carefully! If you file a claim for unemployment, you may forfeit your severance pay. Your former employer may attach any proviso he wants to the severance pay (per the IDES claims office in Chicago). Employer may state in the severance agreement that if you file for unemployment, you forfeit all or part of your severance pay. Review your severance agreement carefully before filing a claim for unemployment in the State of Illinois! According to IDES (Illinois Department of Employment Security) Rules, Section 2920.45: "Amounts paid or payable to an individual for past services rendered by the individual to an employer or amounts paid or payable to an individual for pension or seniority rights lost upon separation or layoff shall be considered severance pay. Such pay shall not be considered wages payable or attributable with respect to the period subsequent to the individual's separation or layoff. Amounts paid or payable to the individual as severance pay shall not render the individual ineligible to receive benefits under Section 2920.5." Please note though, that the definition of severance is somewhat specific. Some examples given in the document to help clarify are: "Example 1: An employer's separation pay program provides for a lump sum payment based on the length of service. The purpose of the payment is to allow the individual to maintain his standard of living while he seeks other work. The individual performs no services after his date of separation. This lump sum payment constitutes severance pay under this Section and hence is not disqualifying. Example 2: The individual was notified that he was to be terminated from employment on April 17. The individual worked on the employer's premises until April 6 but performed incidental services to the employer from April 6 through April 17 by telephone in training a replacement. The wages received from April 6 through April 17 are not severance pay. Because the individual performed some services and received wages for the period April 6 through April 17, he was not unemployed under Section 239 of the Act and hence not eligible for benefits under the Act."

Can a previous employer cause former employee not to get a job?

Passively, yes. If a potential employer wants a letter of recommendation from a former employer, and the former employer knows the ex-employee is a hopeless loser or an outright crook, they will write a letter of "recommendation" that will say in effect: "So-and-so worked for us from this date until that date and was found to be 'satisfactory' ". That is the kiss of death. And the former employer has covered themselves, because they said - in print - the employee had been 'satisfactory'.
