A central Illinois congressman’s exchange on Twitter with the state agency in charge of handing out aid to the unemployed highlighted public frustration with a system under scrutiny as everyday people struggle with the economic fallout of COVID-19. U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis’ back-and-forth last month with the Illinois Department of Employment Security began with a video of the Taylorville Republican in his kitchen describing his personal experience with a fraudulent unemployment claim being made in his name and his attempts to contact the state about it. IDES acting director Kristin Richards said the agency, with a staffing level half of what it was a decade ago, has done a good job meeting the “staggering” challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic to put in place five new federal programs, handle a six-fold increase in unemployment claims and pay out 16 times more benefits than the $1.16 billion in unemployment compensation disbursed during the same nine-month period a year ago
