Minnesota Unemployment

To be eligible for benefits for any week, you must be:

  • Able to work
  • You must be physically and mentally able to work. You must report any medical condition that prevents you from working or looking for work.
  • Available for suitable work
  • You must be ready and willing to accept work in your usual occupation or other suitable employment. You cannot be paid for any period you are traveling outside your commuting area, unless it is to look for work. You cannot have unreasonable restrictions on work hours, wage, commuting distance, or other conditions of employment you are willing to accept. In most cases, attending school full-time makes you unavailable to accept work, unless you are willing to quit school.
  • Actively seeking suitable work
  • You must actively look for work even if you have a part-time job or expect to return to a seasonal job. You must make a serious effort to find work every week.
