Unemployment benefits; fraud reporting portal required for employers.

HF 1830 requires Minnesota employers to report potential unemployment benefit fraud through a new online portal. The portal must collect specific information: whether an applicant missed a scheduled interview, refused a job offer, or couldn't be contacted for an interview, job offer, or recall. Employers can then request access to applicant "no-show" and "refusal to work" records from the unemployment office, even if those records are typically considered private. This bill directly affects Minnesota employers who file unemployment claims, as it mandates new reporting procedures to help identify fraudulent claims. The law aims to strengthen fraud detection by creating a standardized system for employers to report specific applicant behaviors.
