Illinois HB2650 amends the Unemployment Insurance Act to redefine eligibility for unemployment benefits in cases of labor disputes. It specifies that an individual is eligible for benefits if their unemployment is due to a stoppage of work caused by a labor dispute, unless they are participating in or financing the dispute. The bill also clarifies that a lockout by the employer or an individual's refusal to cross a picket line does not constitute participation in the dispute.
