The auditor general’s office has discovered that the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) did not “maintain accurate and complete” data on over 2,800 individuals who claimed $6.2 million in pandemic assistance for the year ending June 30, 2023.

The findings raise concerns about the agency's ability to track and verify unemployment claims during a critical period.
