In Illinois, what qualifies or disqualifies you for collecting unemployment pay?

Question

My dad's company was sold and is moving to Indiana so he's going to lose his job at the end of August. He knows he will be eligible for unemployment but the company is now offering him to pay him to maintain the facility for a few months after the company moves until they can sell the building. He is concerned that he will no longer be eligible for unemployment if he knows ahead of time that this is a temporary position. Is that true?

Answer 1

No he will still be eligible
