Illinois employers unable to file timely monthly or quarterly SUI wage reports due to COVID-19 may request an extension

According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Employers, although the filing deadline for state unemployment insurance (SUI) returns has not been extended, employers affected by COVID-19 and unable to file monthly or quarterly SUI wage reports may request an extension (30 days for quarterly returns, 15 days for monthly).

To receive an extension, the employer must state a reason for the request (e.g., short of staff due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders). Employers are encouraged to file their requests for extension via the MyTax website.
