I have a question for someone from Minnesota. I understand that in MN the public union employees have chosen to be laid off during the shutdown (instead of taking furloughs). If thats the case, I would like to know how long before these folks can start getting unemployment? Is it immediate or is there a waiting period in MN?
Next week.
