Calculating Mileage in Illinois
LWIAs please use the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Inside Illinois Route Map Web Site for providing documentation for reimbursement of mileage payments for the TAA program.
Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC)
Workers who are eligible to receive income support under the TAA program may be eligible to receive tax credits for 65% of the monthly health insurance premium they pay. Qualifying insurance coverage includes COBRA, state COBRA, continuing individual coverage or other state-qualified plans.
The Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) is a state health benefits program. CHIP is funded partly by premiums paid by its participants and, to the extent that premiums do not meet anticipated expenses, CHIP may receive an appropriation from the State's General Revenue Fund. Premiums charged may currently be set by law at from 125-150 percent of the average rates charged individuals for comparable major medical coverage by five or more of the largest insurance companies in the individual health insurance market in Illinois.

Illinois' 2006 Best Practices
Listed below are some of Illinois' Best Practices we wanted to share with you. We appreciate the efforts these individuals have made to improve services to our Trade customers. Congratulations!
8/16 Date Finder Plus
Jeff Hefty, CWDP Career Counselor from Rockford Illinois' Rock Valley College (LWIA 3) Dislocated Worker Program/Trade Adjustment Assistance Program created an Excel Spreadsheet to calculate the 8/16. You can contact Jeff by email at j.hefty@rvc.cc.il.us. He will gladly help you out if you need assistance in learning how to record macros or any other technical problem.
1. Open Excel - do not open 8/16 date finder - just excel
2. Click on TOOLS on the toolbar
3. Click on Macros
4. Click on Security
5. Click MEDIUM - then click "OK"
6. Open the worksheet
7. Click enable macros
8. It may ask if you want to open it as a read only- you have three choices here:
Yes: You open it as a read only, if you want to save the worksheet, you will have to save it with a different name. I advise people to do it this way, That way they will always have a "Clean Copy" from which to work.
No: You will not open as a read only, you may save over the original file. You will not have an "Original Copy".
Cancel: It won't open the file.
