Unemployment Insurance Benefits are scheduled to end Sept 4 – CareerForce Can Help
Many Minnesota residents have been receiving extended unemployment benefits under a federal program called Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC). The federal law that authorized the PEUC program will expire on September 4, 2021 which means that these benefits will end.
Returning to your previous industry: If you’re thinking of returning to a job like the one you had before, CareerForce’s online job bank is available to find the latest job postings. If you need assistance finding a job, your local CareerForce location can help. Staff there can help you updated your resume, navigate online job sites and find jobs that are a good fit for you. Connect to the Minneapolis CareerForce locations and please note that North Minneapolis CareerForce is taking appointments for immediate, in-person job seeking services.
Making a career change to another in-demand field: This would be a great time to consider a career change. You may be eligible for Dislocated Worker Services if you have been laid off (didn’t quit or weren’t fired), are eligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits, and are unlikely to return to your previous occupation or industry. For more information and to complete an interest form, please go to:
Your local CareerForce location can help: Your local CareerForce center can help you identify transferrable skills and obtain a new job.
The Minneapolis North CareerForce location is open by appointment only for in-person, phone, or online support
If you need assistance finding a job, CareerForce can help. Staff can assist you in updating your resume, navigate the online job sites and find jobs that are a good fit for you.

What are Dislocated Worker Services?
Dislocated Worker services are designed to help people who have been laid off through no fault of their own get back to work as quickly as possible. Sometimes people have barriers to finding employment quickly. These barriers to employment can include a change in demand for your previous occupation, such as we have seen for certain occupations during COVID-19, or other challenges to finding work.
Services for eligible people can include:
- Career planning and counseling
- Job search assistance
- Connections to employers hiring now
- Counselor-approved training
- Other support services
