     268.069 Payment of benefits. 

    (a) The commissioner shall pay reemployment insurance 
 benefits from the Minnesota reemployment insurance fund to a 
 claimant who has met each of the following requirements: 

    (1) the claimant has established a reemployment insurance 
 account in accordance with section 268.07; 

    (2) the claimant is not subject to a disqualification from 
 benefits under section 268.09; 

    (3) the claimant has met all of the eligibility 
 requirements under section 268.08; and 

    (4) the claimant does not have an outstanding overpayment 
 of benefits under section 268.18. 

    (b) Benefits shall not be considered as paid by an employer.
 The commissioner shall determine a claimant's entitlement to 
 benefits based upon that information available and any agreement 
 between a claimant and an employer shall not be binding on the 
 commissioner in determining a claimant's entitlement.  Any 
 obligation on an employer as a result of benefits charged to the 
 employer is to the fund only.
