Cook County requires a third party to work collectively with the appropriate County personnel to ensure unemployment claims, hearings, and benefit charges are handled in a timely and appropriate fashion. This entity receives electronic receipt of unemployment claims from the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) and then proceeds to confirm eligibility and process all necessary paperwork through the completion of the claim. Cook County reimburses the State for paid unemployment insurance claims.
