What is the maximum amount of unemployment benefits I can receive in Minnesota?

The maximum amount of unemployment benefits a person can receive in Minnesota depends on their previous income and is determined by a formula. Currently, the maximum weekly benefit amount is $756. However, this amount is subject to change based on the state's unemployment rate and economic conditions. To calculate the total maximum benefit amount, multiply the weekly benefit amount by the number of weeks the person is eligible to receive benefits. It is important to note that certain eligibility requirements must be met to qualify for unemployment benefits, including being unemployed through no fault of your own and actively seeking employment. Additionally, individuals may be eligible for additional federal unemployment benefits during times of emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
