An unemployment application for benefits in Minnesota should not be difficult, but it is.
Unfortunately, each question is designed to deny a claim.
As an unemployment lawyer, my goal is to educate and inspire a conversation with applicants seeking help with their application for benefits.
Sometimes, one of the most difficult application questions is whether or not a person was fired or they quit their job. The second most difficult question on an application for benefits is why.
The articles and videos address application questions and issues. Sometimes, knowing the rules under Minnesota statute 268.035 and 268.095 can assist applicants with pinpointing a law that supports their claim.
Personally, I like the idea of reviewing the events that led to applying for benefits and helping people use words that can optimize their claim.
Thus, if you find any of these articles useful or helpful, please share with others and contact me directly.
