will Illinois automatically amend my state return if I was unemployed in 2020

I filed in March and in April I saw that my federal and state return amounts changed for my benefit.   The Federal will be automatically amended in May sometime...  Will Illinois do the same or do i need to amend my return

If you filed your return electronically before March 15, 2021, you do not need to do anything.  The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) is planning to automatically update your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) beginning next month. Once your return has been adjusted, you will receive a letter from IDOR explaining the update, and if you are entitled to a refund a paper check will be mailed to the address on file. If you disagree with the changes, you may respond to the letter.
