In the lower row it has "unavail days." The system thinks that you are not available or not looking for work. This isn't because you are working and earning money, it's because you aren't doing something you're supposed to be doing, or your separation was based on medical or childcare, and until you prove able and availble, you'll continue to not get any money.
Thanks Chyvan. I think I must have selected 5 days for the following question when certifying . I understood this question as that if I worked that week . So if you are correct I should have selected "yes" to the below question? Am I still entitled to these weeks $ , will they still pay or do I have pay for my mistake?
Were you able and available to work each day during your normal work week?
• If no, enter the number of days you were unavailable for work in each of the weeks.
Did you work during the period of Sunday (week 1 beginning date) through Saturday (week 2 ending date)? Tip: Have your gross earnings before taxes and other deductions available.
• If yes, enter the total amount of earnings (before deductions) for each week.
• Has your dependency status changed during this certification period?

• If no, enter the number of days you were unavailable for work in each of the weeks. This would be blank because the answer is YES

If you misread the question, by all means call and ask if it can be fixed. If they schedule you for a phone interview, go through with it. If they send you a letter telling you "no," then appeal it. I'd be willing to invest some time in this because there's $800+ involved.
So you know, the money's not lost. It just means that you can't collect it until the backend. So if you get a job before you run out of UI money, then it's lost, but if you stay out of work long enough, you'll eventually collect it. That's the risk. Unless you have a crystal ball, it's probably best to get the money up front, so make the effort.
Just wanted to give an update ( might benefit other folks in IL or anywhere this situation is applicable).
The person I spoke to was kind enough and he corrected few things on his end as I explained him that I misunderstood the question. They will release the funds but first pay is always waiting period so I would get $418 this week.
I received the same letter. And I'm sitting here trying to figure out what did I answer incorrectly to cause this as well. What did he end up correcting?
I am experiencing the same problem. Have not received a letter but when I call to see if I have been paid. It states there are deductions for the weeks claimed. What does that mean? And what do I do?
What number are you trying, every number I have tried never gave me the option to talk to anyone.
