Unemployment Benefit Increase Affects Southern Illinois
Weekly benefits rise July 1 from 110 to 115 for workers with no dependents and from 132 to 138 for married workers with a non working spouse. Dependents cap at 135 per week, based on regional data, while four county area officials size up the impact. The change comes with summer eligibility limits for federally funded unemployment and non teachers.
