School Attendance

Applicants attending an educational institution other than high school may receive unemployment benefits while attending school if:

Applicants must be:

  • available to work the hours and days that are normal for their occupation, and;
  • willing to quit school in order to accept an offer of suitable employment.

Note: These requirements do not apply to applicants who are in a reemployment assistance training program.

Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Law holds high school students ineligible to receive benefits until graduation. This ineligibility includes summer breaks.
