Illinois has issued a revised workplace notice that includes a new provision allowing unemployed workers to withhold state income tax from their weekly benefits.
A previous notice issued by the Illinois Department of Employment Security stated that unemployed workers only had the option of withholding federal income tax from their weekly benefits. They now can choose to have federal and/or state taxes withheld from their unemployment benefits.
The mandatory workplace notice also includes new information for unemployed workers who have been awarded temporary total disability benefits through workers’ compensation or those who have only worked within the past few months.
The base period for which benefits are determined may be different for unemployed workers who fall under those categories. They are advised to contact their local Illinois Department of Employment Security office for more information.
In addition, actual percentages of a claimant’s average weekly wage used to determine unemployment benefits from the previous notice have been deleted. The revised notice refers only to “a percentage†of the workers’ average weekly wage.
The revised notice also includes a new website address for unemployed workers to file claims online.
