Close to 1500 signatures, and we are just getting started! Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared so far. 

Did you know...a 2016 study from the IL Partners for Human Service indicated that EI Provider rates would need to increase by 26% to keep up with the cost of living. 

That was 6 years ago, and EI Providers have only had a 6% increase since that time.

No wonder so many providers and service coordinators are leaving the EI system. 

Please continue to share this petition so our IL governor and legislature see the support for this issue!
