In Illinois, a typical middle-income person who made $723 per week in gross wages while working receives $940 weekly in unemployment with the enhanced benefits, or 130% of his or her regular pay, according to the analysis. A low-income worker earning $438 per week when employed gets $806 weekly, or 184%, on unemployment. Meanwhile, higher earners are subject to a cap of $484 a week in state benefits, so someone who makes $1,287 weekly when employed would receive $1,084 when unemployed, or 88% of regular pay.
