Eligibility for Unemployment Benefits

Eligibility problems are a week by week analysis. In other words, applications are important. Just as important are the week by week questions an applicant submits by phone or on the unemployment website. .

Because Minnesota unemployment benefits can equal more than $25,350 over a 26 week period, eligibility questions and appeals are significant.

Denied Unemployment Claims

Denied unemployment claims start with a letter from the unemployment office. Their letter will share a brief reason for the denial and a deadline to file an appeal.

Before submitting an appeal statement, consider talking with a professional first. Depending on the scenario, your response to a denied claim can affect your eligibility for future benefits.

Can an Unemployment Lawyer be on the Phone?

Yes, as an unemployment lawyer, I am routinely on the phone during the phone hearing process. Certainly, it is my priority to serve my Client’s needs.

Costs and Fees

Meeting with an unemployment lawyer, even just once, can be incredibly valuable. This value can far outweigh a week, a month, or even a year of benefits.
