Committee questions IDES director, staff over unemployment handling Fraud, delays among top issues addressed
By Sarah Mansur CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Representatives of the Illinois Department of Employment Security testified before the Senate Labor Committee about fraudulent claims, continued delays in responding to unemployment applicants and a multibillion-dollar deficit in the fund that pays out benefits. Acting Illinois Department of Employment Security Director Kristin Richards and members of the department’s staff fielded questions about the backlog that individuals face when they contact the agency with questions about their claims. While the agency has seen fewer traditional unemployment claims, it has continued to see individuals file roughly 700,000 to 800,000 claims per month since August through the pandemic unemployment programs created through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and other federal programs. Those include the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance
program, the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, and the Extended Benefits program. IDES has put in place a callback system to reduce wait times for callers and a web form online for people to submit questions, but Richards said individuals still wait between one to two weeks for a callback from the agency, depending on the subject of the call. “But I need to stress that if an individual has, for example, reached out to us about the status of their adjudication or appeal it could take four to six weeks because it’s working its way through the process and we need to connect with the right professional to help them. We realize that is less than ideal for individuals dying for an answer from IDES,” she said. Richards said IDES is working to address those delays by training contractual staff members and adding full-time employees to the agency. The agency has
roughly 1,200 employees, Richards said, including about 750 contractual staff. She said the agency has stopped slightly more than 1 million identity theft claims, including through the traditional unemployment system and the PUA system, but the agency doesn’t know the specific amount of money that has been paid out in fraudulent claims. Some of the new unemployment programs created during the pandemic, especially the PUA program, left unemployment systems vulnerable, Richards said. “That new program had no employer wage base to balance off of. There was no second step, as a check and balance. Until wage verification documents were required, we saw that imposters were getting in,” she said. Overpayment of benefits Richards also announced during the virtual committee meeting that the department will begin to send out waiv-
ers next week to individuals who had received an overpayment of benefits under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, a federally funded program providing unemployment benefits to gig workers and others not traditionally eligible for them. By law, claimants who were overpaid benefits must repay the money they were not due under unemployment laws. The waiver authority provided in federal law allows the state to waive the repayment in certain circumstances if the overpayment was not the fault of the claimant. The overpayment waivers are available through the federal Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act, or CAA, which was signed into law in December. “If the waiver request is successful, we need to return those dollars that were recuperated to the claimant,” she said, adding the department has not yet developed a mechanism to return the money. She said the agency is
working on creating a questionnaire and request form for those eligible for a waiver, and the agency would consider those requests on a case-by-case basis. IDES Manager of Unemployment Insurance Programs Justin Brissette said overpayment is not uncommon, but the number of new claims has made it more prevalent. Richards said one of the issues that resulted in some overpayments was individuals inadvertently providing wrong wage information, such as listing their net income rather than gross income. Trust Fund The committee also discussed the deficit in the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund—which funds unemployment payments—and is projected to have a negative balance possibly exceeding $8 billion in the next two years, according to a presentation from the department. Sen. Jason Barickman,
R-Bloomington, raised questions about the impact of fraudulent claims on the trust fund’s deficit. “We all will have to work on a solution to the trust fund. I think everyone recognizes that,” Barickman said. “There was a tremendous presentation today on the amount of fraud that exists. There was a tremendous presentation on the negative balance that is going to exist in the trust fund and I have no data in front of me on how to tie those two together. Shouldn’t we have that data, as lawmakers, so that we can understand what the financial impact has been on our trust fund?” In response, Richards said she did not have that information but would work on getting it to lawmakers. Pressed further, Richards said she couldn’t provide a timeframe on when that information would be provided. “I hear you loud and clear,” she said. “We need to come up with the numbers and provide that to the committee.”
Health Department expands vaccine opportunities The Lake County Health Department announced that beginning the week of February 15, COVID-19 vaccination appointments at the Lake County Fairgrounds will begin being offered to seniors ages 65 and older who are registered in the AllVax system. Vaccinations of healthcare workers and others eligible in Phase 1a are also continuing at the site and through partnering vaccine providers across the county. People who are registered in AllVax will be notified by email when it is their turn
to schedule an appointment. Registrants who do not have email accounts will be notified via phone. Please do not call the Health Department to schedule an appointment. “We look forward to providing vaccines to our senior population at the Lake County Fairgrounds,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director at the Lake County Health Department. “We want our residents to know that our vaccination efforts extend far beyond Health Department clinics—our partners have been vaccinating seniors since Phase 1b start-
389021
ed. We continue working through the growing list of Phase 1a healthcare workers and those eligible in Phase 1b, and these phases will continue to overlap. We now have hospitals, healthcare providers, pharmacies, manufacturing employers, and schools working together to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible across the county.” Phase 1a vaccinations began in Lake County in mid-December, when the Health Department began receiving limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine. Phase 1b vaccinations began at partner sites on January 25, 2021. Many community Points of Dispensing (PODs) are planned to open in the coming weeks.

Details about these sites, including who is eligible and how to sign up for appointments, will be updated regularly at www.lakecountyil.gov/ vaccine, included in the Health Department’s weekly COVID-19 email newsletter, sign up at https://public. govdelivery.com/accounts/ ILLAKE/signup/14547, and shared through the Health Department’s vast network of community partners. “We estimate that at least 200,000 Lake County residents are eligible to receive their vaccine in Phase 1b, and when our vaccine supply improves and enough vaccinators are in place, it will still take us several weeks to months to get everyone in that group vaccinated,” said Pfister. “If you are currently eligible and are frustrated that you can’t get an appointment, please understand that you are not forgotten, but part of a very large group that became eligible
before vaccines were widely available. A majority of our eligible residents do not yet have the ability to schedule an appointment, and we continue working tirelessly to ensure that everyone who wants to get vaccinated will be able to do so in time.” Anyone who lives or works in Lake County, Illinois is encouraged to register in the AllVax Portal at https://allvax.lakecohealth. org. Registration is free, easy, and secure. People who do not have access to a computer or smartphone to register in the AllVax system may call (847) 377-8130 or email AllVax@lakecountyil. gov for assistance. The AllVax system does not email everyone who is eligible at the same time. It will notify you when all three of these things occur: • You are eligible in the current phase of vaccinations; • The Health Department has received a shipment of vaccine; and • Vaccination appointments

are currently available. A new option was recently added to AllVax allowing residents to opt-in and consent to allow the Health Department to securely share their registration information with local vaccination partners. This option gives registrants more access to partnering community vaccination sites that open as vaccine supply increases. The State of Illinois Vaccine Locator website, https://coronavirus.illinois. gov/s/vaccination-location, provides a directory of locations offering COVID-19 vaccines, including dozens of pharmacies in Lake County. At this time, all sites are providing vaccinations by appointment only. Residents are encouraged to check with their own healthcare provider and register with additional vaccine providers who may have appointments available. Please be advised that all vaccine providers have very limited appointment availability due to limited vaccine supply. The Lake County Health Department’s goal is to vaccinate 80% of the population to achieve herd immunity, amounting to approximately 560,000 residents. At two doses per person, this will require 1.12 million doses of vaccine. As of February 10, the Lake County Health Department has received a total of 54,350 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is enough to vaccinate less than 4% of Lake County’s population. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 60,045 doses of the vaccine have been administered to Lake County residents so far. For answers to frequently answered questions about COVID-19 vaccination, please visit the AllVax FAQ page at https://allvax.lakecohealth.org/.

CLC seeking ‘makers’ of all varieties for Maker Week and Faire The dictionary definition of the word “maker” is simply “a person or thing that makes or produces something.” Do you spend your spare time creating and crafting? This is more than just robots, though they are certainly cool. This is wearables, puppets, human-powered machines, interactive art, upcycling; inventions of all types qualify someone as a maker. It’s time to bring those creations out into the light at College of Lake County’s Maker Week, which includes Maker Faire Lake County. “We are reimagining how we can recreate the fun and excitement of wandering around an exhibit hall and seeing unique creations, as well as trying out a wide variety of make and take projects,” said Jan Edwards, CLC engineering instructor and avid maker. “We envisioned this event as something community members would not only attend, but also showcase their own projects. There are many makers in Lake Coun-
ty.” The result is a variety of virtual competitions, demonstrations and “show and tells” leading up to the culminating Maker Faire event on Apr. 17. The call for makers, www. lakecounty.makerfaire.com/ call-for-makers/, to fill these slots opened on Feb. 1 with each maker generally falling into one of four categories: • Be a Maker Workshop – Provide a tutorial that will enable other makers to work along with your presentation. If possible, incorporate items that most makers would already have around their home. Plan on having live Q&A with the viewers. • Maker Showcase or Tour – Here is your opportunity to show us how you made that amazing project or take us on a tour of your workspace. We can take advantage of this virtual format to get a sneak peek in to spaces all around the county. Plan on having live Q&A with the viewers. • Technology showcase – Makers are always interested
in learning more about the technology available to use in a project or build for themselves. Inspire us with the possibilities. Plan on having live Q&A with the viewers. • 5 Minute Lightning talk – Prerecord your talk to be added to the Maker Faire Channel. Though this event is entirely virtual, in subsequent years the plan is to gather all the many makers and interested community members in one fascination-filled space, which has always been the long-term goal of CLC’s engineering department. “In 2018, we opened the Baxter Innovation Lab to provide more opportunities for hands-on experiences that would support the theoretical courses. This goes with the tag line for the lab, ‘Design. Innovate. Make,’” said Edwards. “Even as we designed the lab, it was envisioned as a community space. Over the last few years, we have hosted summer camps and personal enrichment courses. Our goal
is to continue to grow these programs with an emphasis on supporting underrepresented populations.”
Makers and non-makers alike who are interested in attending the free Maker Faire will still need to register
for online admission which, when opened, will be found at lakecounty.makerfaire.com/ tickets/
Lake County is the recipient of a $700,000 grant by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to continue building on efforts in collaboration with local leaders and the community to rethink the local criminal justice system, safely reduce Lake County’s jail population, and eliminate racial inequities. The grant brings the Foundation’s total investment in Lake County to over $1.45 million to date, and is part of the Safety and Justice Challenge, a $246 million national initiative to reduce over-incarceration and advance racial equity in local criminal justice systems by changing the way America thinks about and uses jails. The Safety and Justice Challenge is supporting local leaders, individuals directly and most impacted by the justice system, and the broader community in Lake County and across the country who are determined to address one of the greatest drivers of over-incarceration in America – the misuse and overuse of jails. Lake County was first selected to join the Safety and Justice Challenge Network in 2017 and has since used the resources and funding provided by the initiative to implement evidence-based solu-
tions. These solutions include strengthening community-law-enforcement partnerships, ensuring all community sectors have a voice in the justice process, collaborative and innovative approach to justice reform, examining increasing levels of incarceration, including incarceration of those with mental health disorders, examining disparities in the judicial system including people of color and those in other protected classes, and more. As a result, the Lake County Jail population has decreased, crime rates have decreased, and the jail’s high-utilizer program has been successful. Lake County was one of 15 jurisdictions selected for additional funding based on the promise and progress of work to date. This new round of funding will provide the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, justice stakeholders, and community partners with continued support and expert technical assistance to strengthen and expand strategies that address the main drivers, and resulting racial inequities, of local jail incarceration. Additionally, building on Lake County’s progress to date is especially critical as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and racial injustices
against Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color reinforce the need to transform how the system operates. Our public health driven pandemic efforts reduced our jail population by -27% on people nearing the end of their sentence and lowering non-violent cash bonds. Justice stakeholders will continue to examine jail release failure to appear and recidivism data to change culture and propose policy changes to maintain our pandemic population level. Case-by-case reviews and reduction of arrests by local police were critical to our jail reduction. Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “A sustained partnership with the community is critical to redefining safety and I am proud of the work conducted by the Lake County Sheriff’s Criminal Justice Community Council. The additional support from the Safety and Justice Challenge will help us center the voices and experiences of those most impacted, strengthen trust, and ensure our work actively responds to the community’s needs.” In partnership with Lake County Government, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, 19th Judicial Circuit Court, Lake County Public Defender’s Office,
Criminal Justice Community Council, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office has developed a comprehensive plan for additional strategies and initiatives over the next two years to invest in a safer, more effective, and more equitable system. These include: diverting people from jail by dropping them off at a wellness center for behavioral health assessments and local service linkage. This will serve as a hub to community organizations, with on-site multi-disciplinary team consisting of a peer recovery specialist, intensive case manager, and a registered nurse. Additionally, we will collect and analyze racial and ethnic data, modify outreach, and course correct when necessary. We will continue our ongoing efforts toward reducing recidivism and reducing our jail’s population while increasing the engagement and membership in the criminal justice community council. More than five years after its public launch, the Safety and Justice Challenge has grown into a collaborative of 51 jurisdictions in 32 states modeling and inspiring reforms to create more fair, just, and equitable local justice systems across the country. “We must confront the
devastating impacts of mass incarceration by a system that over-polices and over-incarcerates Black, Indigenous, and Latinx people,” said Laurie Garduque, MacArthur’s Director of Criminal Justice. “Over the past five years, the Safety and Justice Challenge has safely reduced the ineffective and harmful use of jails, while learning that jail population reduction alone does not undo the racial inequities perpetuated by an unjust system and our nation’s history of systemic racism. We are committed to supporting cities and counties as they reimagine a definition of safety that is inclusive of all communities and makes meaningful progress towards our goal of ending racial and ethnic disparities in jails.” Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said, “Our county will be safer when we address the long-term causes of crime and the historical racial and economic disparities that have plagued our communities for too long. We are thrilled to partner with the Sheriff’s Office and
the MacArthur Foundation to develop a strategic and data-based approach to the challenges we face in our local justice system.” Several of the nation’s leading criminal justice organizations will continue to provide technical assistance and counsel to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Lake County Government, partners, and the other jurisdictions involved in the Safety and Justice Challenge. These include the Center for Court Innovation, Everyday Democracy, Nexus Community Partners, the Institute for State and Local Governance at the City University of New York, JFA Institute, the Justice Management Institute, Justice System Partners, the Pretrial Justice Institute, Policy Research, Inc., the Vera Institute of Justice, the W. Haywood Burns Institute, Urban Institute, and Bennett Midland.

County Board to consider allowing adult-use cannabis businesses in unincorporated Lake County Public hearing to be announced at a later date
The Lake County Board voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to initiate the formal process to consider zoning regulations that would allow adultuse cannabis businesses to operate in unincorporated Lake County with certain restrictions. A set of draft zoning regulations will be considered during a public hearing that will be held in the near future by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The date of the public hearing and other opportunities for public input will be announced in the coming weeks. “I would like to thank the County Board and staff for taking the time to research and gather information on the adult-use cannabis topic, including lessons learned since Illinois’ new law took effect,” said Lake County Public Works, Planning, and Transportation Committee Chair Bill Durkin.
“We’re now ready to move forward with the process for unincorporated Lake County and we look forward to hearing the public’s input on the proposed regulations in the coming weeks.” While adult-use of cannabis has been legal in Illinois since Jan. 1, 2020, business establishments are currently prohibited to operate in unincorporated Lake County. Under Illinois law, Lake County government has the option to establish regulations to allow the production and sale of recreational cannabis in the unincorporated areas or to ban recreational cannabis businesses. Last February, the County Board chose to formally delay its decision until February 2021, to allow time to research health and law enforcement impacts and revenue implications of adult-use cannabis legalization.
In October 2019, the County Board approved an ordinance adopting a state-authorized tax for adult-use dispensary sales in municipalities. If the Lake County Board ultimately approves adult-use cannabis business zoning regulations, the ordinance will also be applicable to unincorporated dispensary sales. The decision followed a series of meetings that began after the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act was signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker in 2019. Lake County initiated a countywide task force that was attended by representatives from many local municipalities to study and analyze the new law. The Lake County Board also discussed the subject at several committee meetings. Updates from these meetings can be found at www. lakecountyil.gov/4332/RecreationalCannabis-in-Unincorporated

CO Fejzic and his partner, Elvis Corrections Fejzic Officer Matthew Outinen, immediately entered the inmate’s cell, cut the shirt off of the inmate’s neck, and administered firstaid. Additionally, due to CO Fejzic was recognized for his thoroughness, as he prevented numerous items of
contraband from entering the interior of the jail. Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “I am very proud of Corrections Officer Elvis Fejzic and excited he received such a prestigious award from the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association. The dedication and service-oriented mindset of our corrections officers often go unseen by the community, as their heroic actions occur behind closed doors. Each and every day, our corrections officers work diligently to make a positive impact on those incarcerated and continually participate in efforts to reduce recidivism.”

A history of vacation colonies Author chronicles real estate venture from the ‘20s By Tracy Ouellette STAFF WRITER
argaret Barker grew up in Chicago but spent her childhood summers in Pell Lake, vacationing in a cottage her father built in the 1930s. “We were up there all the time,” Barker said. “We loved it.” Over the years, the history of the area interested her and she said she often listed to stories from the locals and other summer vacationers. One particular story fascinated her. “I always Margaret Barker heard rumors about how the newspapers created Pell Lake,” Barker recalled. “I always thought it strange and didn’t know if it was true, but in later years, I became interested in genealogy and family history so I thought I would look into it.” Barker said she began researching the “rumor” of how Pell Lake came to be and was surprised at what she found. “I began reading old newspapers from the area and found the story was true and learned a whole lot about the community and Pell Lake development and other communities with the same real estate scheme,” she said. Barker said she delved deep into the process of how these The photo for this postcard of the Pell Lake clubhouse was taken around 1927. vacation colonies were created, especially in Southeastern formed and the things the sellers “It was advantageous to the profit venture for the Wisconsin and in particular in did and didn’t do that created community and to the seller and newspaper.

Some of the lakes, not Pell Lake or Walworth County lakes, also ended up becoming dumping grounds for all kinds of garbage.” Barker says her book reads “something like a novel” and it tells a story, so people interested in the area’s history will enjoy learning about the vacation colonies. “It’s a light read that a lot of people will enjoy and I had a lot of fun writing it, but at the same time, it’s well researched and documented, so it’s a good resource for anyone who might be living in one of these communities,” Barker said.

Traffic safety campaign results announced
Sheriff Idleburg announces that during the recent Super Bowl traffic safety campaign, sheriff’s deputies arrested one individual for being wanted on a DUI warrant and another for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Additionally, sheriff’s deputies issued 11 citations for drivers who either did not have a driver’s license or were driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license. 26 speeding citations and 21 failure to wear seatbelt citations were issued. The Super Bowl weekend Drive Sober
or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket enforcement effort ran from February 5, through the early morning hours of February 8, to keep impaired drivers off the roads and ensure more people buckle up and follow all traffic safety laws. The recent law enforcement campaign was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.

The Lake County Health Department will be having a free Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) testing sites on this week. A mobile testing unit managed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will be stationed in the country according to the following schedule: • Thursday, Feb. 18, 1 p.m. – 7 p.m., CRSM Parking Lot 3106 Belvidere Rd., Waukegan • Friday, Feb. 19, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Highland Park Country Club, Park Ave./Rte. 41, Highland Park The mobile testing unit will also be available in eastern McHenry County this week: • Sunday, Feb. 21, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., McHenry Municipal Center Parking Lot, 333 S. Green St., McHenry.
Other Testing Options State-run Community-Based Testing Sites, located in Waukegan (102 W. Water St.), Arlington Heights (2000 W. Euclid Ave.), and Rockford (1601 Parkview Ave.) are open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Testing at these sites is free. For more information, visit the IDPH website at https:// dph.illinois.gov/covid19/ covid-19-testing-sites. Many healthcare providers in Lake County also have COVID-19 testing available. Please contact your provider or their facility to ask about testing criteria and appointment availability. Residents without a healthcare provider or insurance can contact the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center for an appointment at (847) 3778800.
Know Before You Go Testing is free and open to all regardless of symptoms. A phone number and name are required in order to receive testing results. Photo identification and proof of insurance are helpful, but not required. Please expect long wait times due to high demand for testing. Testing locations may close early due to inclement weather or if daily testing supplies are exhausted. Those utilizing drive-thru testing must be seated at a functioning window. Once you get in line at the site, you will not be permitted to exit your car. All sites will also accommodate walk-up testing for individuals who do not have a vehicle. Only viral testing is provided at the mobile testing site.
Types of Testing Viral (polymerase chain reaction or PCR) testing, commonly done with a nasal swab, is used to detect a current COVID-19 infection. This is the only type of test offered at the IDPH mobile testing site and at State-run Community-Based Testing Sites. Antigen testing, done via nasal swab or saliva sample, is a rapid viral protein test used to identify current COVID-19 infection. Results are available in as little as 15 minutes, but antigen tests may be less sensitive than a PCR test. This means an antigen test is more likely to produce a false negative test result, especially if the person tested has no symptoms. Antibody (serology) testing, a blood test, might tell you if you had a past infec-
tion and may not detect current COVID-19 infection, so it is NOT an appropriate test for someone who is currently in quarantine for potential COVID-19 exposure. If you are told to quarantine for 14 days due to a potential exposure to an infected person, a negative COVID-19 test result does not shorten your quarantine period. The virus can take up to 14 days to be detectable in the body by a test, so it is important to continue the quarantine period through 14 days while monitoring for symptoms. Additional Information All residents are urged to continue to follow the 3 Ws to slow the spread of COVID-19: • Wear a mask • Wash your hands • Watch your distance The Lake County Health Department reported Lake County’s first COVID-19 case on March 11, 2020. As of December 29, 2020, Lake County has 45,052 confirmed cases, including 746 deaths. The Lake County recovery rate is 97.5 percent.
