IDES developed the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Law Handbook (also known as the UI Law Handbook) in response to a need for a single, comprehensive, and updated publication.  Note: this is a bookmarked, searchable 800+ page PDF.  Also navigate through the document by scrolling.

The Handbook contains:

  • the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act and related statutes, rules, interpretive guides, and selected precedent decisions of the Board of Review (the final administrative appeals tribunal) and the Illinois appellate courts (a Digest of Adjudication Precedents).
  • detailed information pertaining to unemployment insurance needed by employers, claimants, entrepreneurs, lawyers and accountants, employer and labor organizations as well as government agencies and non-profit organizations.
  • answers to questions such as employer contributions, covered and exempt wages, independent contractors, labor disputes, purchase and sale of a business, tax calculations and liability of employers, government entities and non-profit organizations and their responsibilities under the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act.
  • information about appeals procedures and benefit eligibility.
  • and more.
