IL unemployment benefits: the state scheduled a call with me to determine my eligibility for benefits. Per the State, Because Accenture tagged me as “discharged” vs “laid-off”, I may not be eligible for benefits.

1) How do I handle the interview? 2) Should I admit that I received a severance package?

Discharged still qualifies you for benefits unless they specifically state it was for misconduct

Thank you!

Were you laid off or were you fired? IL does not pay if you were fired.

If the terminology used by Accenture is causing confusion, then simply explain why you were let go. Ex. “I was a part of a xxx employee layoff conducted by the company.” Don’t explain the wording used, only give why you were let go. If your reason is a legitimate layoff, then IDES will go back to Accenture to get their explanation and ask if you are eligible for unemployment benefits. ACN will give their response which hopefully goes in favor of you receiving UB.
