They apparently want to limit this to six months which I think is a great idea. Everybody gets into an occasional bind and can need a little boost.
Another idea. Pay the first month at 100% of the benefit. Then, each month there after, reduce the benefit by 1/6 of the full benefit.
As giving people 99 weeks of taxpayer-funded unemployment benefits has shown, lots of folks will sit on their ass. If the benefit is being reduced by a set amount each month, and doesn’t run for very long, perhaps that will serve as a kick in the ass.
Come on, it’s Illinois.
Nothing real will happen.
Until we just build a wall around them and all the rest of the corrupt (e.g. - blue) states.
And watch ‘em starve and kill each other.
