The Illinois Department of Employment Security has been overwhelmed with unemployment claims. 
The state says they have processed more than a million from March to May. 

Even getting a million claims done leaves still people waiting for checks, gig workers have been left behind in being able to file and Republican State Rep. Avery Bourne says a constituent’s experience is enough to call the system broken.

The Governor says this week that 100 new people will be answering phones on Monday and another 100 will be up and running in two weeks.
