Maskevich v. Ilinois Department of Security

Plaintiff appealed from an order of the circuit court affirming the decision of the Board of Review of the Illinois Department of Employment Security finding that his appeal of a determination regarding unemployment benefits was not timely. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the Board lacked statutory authority and jurisdiction to hear the plaintiff’s appeal because he did not file it within the mandatory 30-day period and that the notice provided to the plaintiff of his appeal rights was not misleading or prejudicially confusing. (McBRIDE and BURKE, concurring)
