The Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program provides a short-term, partial wage replacement to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. These benefits are paid from a dedicated Trust Fund Account which is maintained through assessments against Minnesota employers covered by the UI Program.
Individuals can apply for UI benefits online or by phone.
The UI website is: www.uimn.org
