If you were laid off in Illinois
Coverage: 167 Illinois notices on file, filed Apr 22, 2025 to Sep 25, 2026, collected daily from the state’s published WARN record (www2.illinois.gov). A state may publish late or leave out worker counts, so this is a floor rather than a count of every layoff. The WARN Act generally applies to employers with 100 or more workers. See the national tracker for how we collect notices.
