Bill > SF3230

This bill addresses a specific scenario in unemployment insurance where an employee accepts a deferred resignation offer during a narrow timeframe (between January 27, 2025, and February 13, 2025). Under current Minnesota law, accepting a resignation might typically be considered a voluntary quit, which could disqualify an employee from receiving unemployment benefits. However, this bill explicitly states that for this specific period, such an acceptance of a deferred resignation will not be considered a voluntary quit. Instead, the employee will be eligible for unemployment benefits under Minnesota Statutes, section 268.095, subdivision 10. The bill is designed to be retroactively effective from January 27, 2025, meaning it will apply to any deferred resignations that occurred during that specific timeframe. By creating this exception, the bill provides a temporary protection for employees who might otherwise be ineligible for unemployment benefits due to accepting a deferred resignation.
