If you’re an employer like me and have the unfortunate duty to use Minnesota’s unemployment insurance website http://www.uimn.org/ you may get very frustrated with their site very quickly as I did. Apparently there is a way to pay them with an electronic check as they say just “log into your account” as if it should be obvious. Well, it’s not and I can’t find it. They’ll tell you how much you owe after reporting your taxes and wages, but if you forget and attempt to go back and look, it’ll cost you $25. There is no place on the website that states their mailing address so you can send in a payment.

Minnesota UI
PO Box 64621
St. Paul, MN 55164-0621
Be sure to include your MN UI employer account number with payment.
Also, nobody responds if you contact them through the website. Their FAQ’s are out of date – two of the hyperlinks referenced no longer existed. There is no way to cancel my account from their website, even though it says you can on a mystery page. I can’t believe people put up with these government websites.
