On April 7, 2020, Governor Walz signed a bill put forth by the state legislature creating a presumption that certain categories of employees who contract COVID-19 are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In COVID-19 and Work Comp Update – Legislature Passes New Presumption, we take an in-depth look at the new legislation and what it will mean for employers and insurers moving forward. This law is effective April 8th, and covers injuries from April 8, 2020 through May 1, 2021.

We look forward to answering your questions and assisting you with navigating this complicated legislative framework.
