I recently filed for unemployment insurance in Illinois and was accepted. I've been actively searching for jobs through Illinois Job Link for a couple of weeks now. My bi-weekly certification is due on Wednesdays. After waiting through the initial grace week, I certified the following Wednesday and received my first payment that Friday, which was a relief. However, I noticed that I haven't received my payment this week, and it's been 8 days since the last deposit. I've been logging in every other day to apply for jobs, so I was expecting my usual payment. I checked my direct deposit information and everything seems fine. I also confirmed that I didn't miss any certification deadlines, as my next one isn't due until next week. I received a notice stating that my weekly payment amount is set, so I should be getting paid weekly while certifying bi-weekly. I'm unsure if this is just a delay or if there's an issue I need to address. Since this is my first experience with unemployment benefits, I'm feeling a bit lost on where to look for potential errors or what steps to take next.
