Minnesota SF3314 provides an exception for unemployment benefits for iron ore mining workers laid off between April 1 and July 2, 2025, if they work.

Minnesota SF3314 amends unemployment insurance law to allow workers laid off from the iron ore mining industry between April 1 and July 2, 2025, to work temporarily in the emergency medical services sector without it affecting their unemployment benefits. This exception considers such work as good cause for not applying for, accepting, or avoiding suitable employment. Additionally, earnings from this temporary work will not reduce the weekly unemployment benefit amount. This change is effective retroactively from April 1, 2025.
