New Minnesota Law Provides Frontline Worker Bonus Payments
Highlights
Minnesota has enacted a new law, providing bonus payments to eligible frontline workers in the state
The online application process is expected to be available in mid-June; eligible workers will have 45 days to apply
Employers are required to provide current employees who may be eligible with notification of the frontline bonus program, through a notification form provided by the Department of Labor and Industry
At the end of April, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law – after an extended period of political debate and compromise in the Minnesota Legislature – that provides Minnesota frontline workers the opportunity to apply for bonus payments. The new law comes with $500 million for bonus payments in recognition of frontline workers’ dedication and sacrifice during the COVID-19 emergency declared by the state.
