Employment security offices to close for MLK day

January 16, 2010 (CHICAGO) Many of the agency's resources are available online. People can file for first-time unemployment benefits, certify for benefits and switch to direct deposit.

Banks will be closed for the holiday as well, meaning the availability of some benefit payments could be delayed.

Monday is a federal holiday marking King's birthday. Illinois was among the first states to honor the slain civil rights leader with a state holiday.
