IL HB5722

Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act to add Section 407.1 establishing benefit eligibility for part-time workers.

Requires the Department of Employment Security to periodically determine the average weekly household income for Illinois households.

Allows part-time workers to receive full weekly benefits if their part-time wages combined with the weekly benefit amount do not exceed the lesser of their final regular full-time wages or the average weekly household income.

Provides for reduced weekly benefits when part-time wages plus benefits exceed the ceiling but wages alone do not, with the reduced benefit amount calculated so that wages plus benefits equal the ceiling.

Limits these benefits to regular benefit periods only, not extended benefits, and makes other existing Act provisions control if they provide greater benefit amounts.
