Being unemployed is stressful enough.
Applying for unemployment benefits shouldn’t make it worse. 

Meet Benny, an unemployment benefits bot. Benny is free and confidential, and can help make the unemployment benefits process a little easier.

If you are in Illinois and unemployed, Benny is designed to help you along the road to getting Illinois unemployment benefits. Benny is a project of CARPLS Legal Aid, a nonprofit legal aid organization in Illinois. CARPLS has been helping everyday people with their legal problems for over 25 years.

By answering a few questions, Benny can:

  • Help get you on the right path to applying for unemployment benefits;
  • Help identify why you might be having problems getting the benefits you need;
  • Help you navigate the unemployment hearing and appeals process.

As unemployment benefits are a government benefit, sometimes all the rules and regulations can trip you up. If your situation is more complicated, Benny can link you to talk with a free legal aid attorney for a confidential legal consultation, or direct you to other legal aid resources available online to educate you further.

So why wait? Let’s get you going on the road to Illinois unemployment benefits!
