Apply online for Unemployment Benefits

  • If you call, you may have a long wait – and you will be tying up our phone lines. We’re trying to free up those lines to help people who do not have any online access and to help those who need translators in order to apply for benefits.
  1. Get help from others you know. If you’re not comfortable filling out forms online, maybe you have a smart niece or nephew who can help walk you through it. You’re not alone. Nearly 1 million Minnesotans have used our online Unemployment Insurance application in the past 10 years; most of us have family, friends, and neighbors who are familiar with the application process.
One Minnesota means we help one another – and we know when to ask each other for help. We’re asking you to help us better serve Minnesotans in this crisis by applying online for unemployment benefits.
