Illinois House approves hikes in workmen's and unemployment benefits
The Illinois House sent to Gov. Walker bills lifting unemployment and workmen's compensation ceilings. Unemployment payouts would cap at 50 percent of pay or $92 weekly, with higher for married workers. Workmen's comp would rise to two thirds of wages, up to 205 dollars, and remove the 64 week limit for serious injuries.
