Unemployment Overpayment

An unemployment overpayment is one of the most serious types of appeals or claims in Minnesota.  This is true because one of the issues is always whether an applicant should re-pay money received.

As an unemployment lawyer, my goal is to educate and inspire a conversation with applicants seeking help with an overpayment from their unemployment benefits.

The basics are very simple.  Minnesota’s unemployment office claims they are owed money and penalties.  Luckily, the law supports applicants who appeal or discuss these types of matters with DEED.

The articles and problems discussed herein, are exclusive to overpayments of benefits in Minnesota.

Thus, I hope you find value in these postings and articles.
