Unemployed workers in Minnesota will soon be receiving more unemployment insurance benefits.

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development says an extra 13 weeks of benefits will go to eligible residents who have exhausted both their regular U-I and Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits.

The extension could give qualifying Minnesotans up to 72 weeks of U-I benefits.
