Acceptance of certain offers of deferred resignation made to not constitute a quit from employment.

This bill clarifies that workers who accepted a deferred resignation offer from their employer between January 27 and February 13, 2025, will not be considered to have quit their job for unemployment benefits purposes. It amends Minnesota Statutes section 268.095 to ensure these individuals remain eligible for unemployment benefits under the standard rules. The change applies retroactively from January 27, 2025, covering all affected workers during that specific two-week period. This directly impacts employees who took such offers during that window and were previously potentially disqualified from benefits.
