What safeguards are in place to protect employers and their workers from identity theft and internet scams?
The Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Self-Service System is designed from the standpoint of never asking employers or applicants for critical information by e-mail or any means other than signing in securely to the system. The system will employ current industry practices regarding safeguarding data and will be updated as those practices evolve. Current industry practices being deployed are as follows: • Data will be required to be submitted only inside the secure Web site, • Routinely remind employers and applicants on e-mail or other correspondence that our practice is to never ask for critical information to be submitted by e-mail, and… • Limit e-mail communication to general non-sensitive communications, or reminders/notices to log in and view a notice or complete a business process.
