Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(820 ILCS 405/901) (from Ch. 48, par. 491)
Sec. 901.
Fraud - Repayment - Ineligibility.
An individual who, for the purpose of obtaining benefits, knowingly
makes a false statement or knowingly fails to disclose a material fact,
and thereby obtains any sum as benefits for which he is not eligible:
A. Shall be required to repay such sum in cash, or the amount thereof may
be recovered or recouped pursuant to the provisions of Section 900.
B. Shall be ineligible, except to the extent that such benefits are
subject to recoupment pursuant to this Section,
for benefits for the week in which he or she has been notified
of the determination of the claims adjudicator referred to in Section 702
that he or she has committed the offense described in
the first paragraph and, thereafter, for 6 weeks (with respect to each of
which he or she
would be eligible for benefits but for the provisions of this
paragraph, not including weeks for which such benefits are subject to
recoupment pursuant to this Section)
for the first offense, and for 2 additional weeks (with respect to each
of which he or she would be eligible for benefits but for the provisions
of this paragraph, not including weeks for which such benefits are subject to
recoupment pursuant to this Section) for each subsequent offense. For the
purposes of this paragraph, a separate offense shall be deemed to have been
committed in each week for which such an individual has received a sum as
benefits for which he
or she
was not eligible. No ineligibility under the provisions
of this paragraph shall accrue with respect to any week beginning after
whichever of the following occurs first: (1) 26 weeks (with respect to each
of which the individual would be eligible for benefits but for the provisions
of this paragraph, not
including weeks for which such benefits are subject to recoupment pursuant to
this Section)
have elapsed since the date that he or she is notified of the determination
of the claims adjudicator referred to in Section 702 that he or she has
committed the offense described in the first paragraph, or (2) 2 years have
elapsed
since the date
that he
or she
is notified of the determination of the claims adjudicator referred
to in Section 702 that he
or she
has committed the offense described in the first
paragraph.
