Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    Sec. 237. A. "Base period" means the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters immediately preceding the benefit year. Further, any wages which had previously been used to establish a valid claim pursuant to Section 242 and with respect to which benefits have been paid shall not be included in the base period provided for in this subsection.
    B. Notwithstanding subsection A, an individual, who has been awarded temporary total disability under any workers' compensation act or any occupational diseases act and does not qualify for the maximum weekly benefit amount under Section 401 because he was unemployed and awarded temporary total disability during the base period determined in accordance with subsection A, shall have his weekly benefit amount, if it is greater than the weekly benefit amount determined in accordance with subsection A, determined by the base period of a benefit year which began on the date of the beginning of the first week for which he was awarded temporary total disability under any workers' compensation act or occupational diseases act, provided, however, that such base period shall not begin more than one year prior to the individual's base period as determined under subsection A. Further, any wages which had previously been used to establish a valid claim pursuant to Section 242 and with respect to which benefits have been paid shall not be included in the base period provided for in this subsection.
    C.
