No specific laws identified for this ruling.
Court affirmed the unemployment law judge's determination that relator quit her employment and was therefore ineligible for unemployment benefits, with no applicable exceptions.
In this certiorari appeal, relator challenges an order by an unemployment-law judge (ULJ) affirming the ULJ's earlier decision that relator quit her employment, that she was therefore ineligible for unemployment benefits, and that no ineligibility exceptions apply. Because we conclude that substantial evidence supports the ULJ's order, including its credibility determinations, we affirm.
Worker Denied Unemployment Benefits After Quitting Job
Renee Raygor applied for unemployment benefits after leaving her job at Stewart & Associates, Inc. The state's unemployment office denied her claim, ruling that she had quit voluntarily rather than being fired or laid off. Raygor disagreed with this decision and appealed, arguing that she should qualify for benefits or that special exceptions should apply to her situation.
The case went before an unemployment law judge, who sided with the state and confirmed that Raygor had quit her job. When she appealed again to a higher court, the Minnesota Court of Appeals also ruled against her in March 2026. The court found there was enough evidence to support the judge's decision, including determinations about whose version of events was more believable.
What This Means for Workers:
This case highlights an important rule about unemployment benefits: workers who voluntarily quit their jobs typically cannot collect unemployment compensation. To qualify for benefits after quitting, workers usually must prove they had "good cause" related to their employer's actions, such as unsafe working conditions or significant changes to their job duties. The burden is on the worker to demonstrate they qualify for these exceptions.
