Hello,
I was wondering if in the state if IL I would be able to collect Unemployment after I receive Severance pay.
Possible Severance package my employer wants to pay me would bi-weekly for 20 weeks.
Am I able to file for Unemployment pay as well during or after I sign the Severance agreement?
I have read, which is just a google search that Severance pay is not considered wages, so i didn't know what my options wore.
I meet the standard of working full time for over 15 years at this same employer. I worked enough quarters I guess is what i am trying to say.
My position and department is being dissolved. That is the reason for the change in job status for myself and co-workers.
Any help or clarification is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
