Unemployment Eligibility
Unemployment Eligibility is a term of art used under Minnesota law 268.085.
Generally, I see applicants trying to guess at whether they are eligible and assume a denied application or claim is good reason to give up.
I disagree.
As an unemployment lawyer, my goal is to educate and inspire a conversation with applicants seeking help with eligibility issues in MN.
Unemployment Eligibility: Minnesota’s Basics

Thus, if you find any of these articles useful or helpful, please share with others and contact me directly.
I wish you the very best.
