“Your bi-weekly call day is Tuesday,” the Illinois Department of Employment Security wrote me in this letter that arrived today. I ripped the thing open so fast it, well, ripped, hence the tape on the envelope.
Ripped envelope in haste to get at News
Called today to get certified for the IDES benefits better known as “unemployment,” or better still, as “the dole”.
I don’t understand why it has taken about a month to get certified. Benefits to start as of July 20, when my termination date, as you all know and as IDES all knows, was June 23.
Letter carefully redacted by me. Last thing I need now is to get my identity stolen.
I now have a biweekly date with the TeleServe certification system for up to the next 26 weeks.
Now on to see how long it takes to set up direct deposit.
