I just noticed on the ides website that i may qualify for extended benefits. I exhausted my 26 week benefit on March 23, 2020. How is the amount of the weekly extension calculated--is it the same as before? As I am/was in the restaurant industry (restaurant manager), would I qualify for the federal $600 weekly benefit also? Before I look into filing for the extension, can someone let me know which of the tiers (1,2 or 3) I would qualify for? And also, any tips as to how would I file online would be appreciated. Thanks!
Nevermind. When I did a search for ides extension, the 2012 info came up and I did not notice the date. Let's keep hoping IL will follow other states in extending benefits.
