Minnesota Unemployment Application
Filing for unemployment benefits in Minnesota is an easy process and takes less than an hour to fill out a Minnesota unemployment application online. You can also apply over the phone with the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Applicant Self-Service System. Information that you’ll need to have at the time you fill out the application includes your Social Security number or Alien Registration number if you’re not a U.S. citizen, driver’s license number or state government identification number, mailing address, telephone number, and birth date. Other information that’s required is employment history and reasons you’re not working any more for each employer. You’ll also be asked if you’re a union member, served in the military, or were a federal employer in the last 18 months.
There are four parts on an online Minnesota unemployment application. The first part is the initial questions where you’ll create a 6 character password. The second part is the general information where different screens will come up asking you for information. The third part has screens that ask you information about employment history. Eligibility information is the fourth part. You can make corrections on the final page after you complete the application. The last screen is the confirmation page that all your information is correct.
