Can I work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Minnesota?

Yes, you may be able to work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Minnesota. The state allows individuals to earn a partial wage without a significant reduction in their benefit amount. If you work part-time, you need to report your wages when filing your weekly certification. The Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (UI) program follows an earnings disregard policy, which means a portion of your wages will not be deducted from your unemployment benefits. However, the earnings disregard amount may vary depending on your weekly benefit amount. It's important to accurately report all wages earned during the certification week since failure to do so may result in overpayment and the need to repay benefits.
