Republicans have reached out to the Department of Employment Security along with Governor JB Pritzker in an effort to help constituents be able to get help from the IDES. The hope is that IDES will allow constituents to come to representatives' offices in order to have calls and video conferences to get to the bottom of their issues.

Representative Brad Halbrook says that they are still hearing from residents that are dealing with issues with IDES.

Representative Halbrook says that they have tried reaching out to IDES and have gotten no response, so they are trying to go to Governor Pritzker in an effort to try to help the people that need it. He urged Governor Pritzker to stop shifting blame and to start working on fixing the problem.
