At the close of the Frontline Worker Pay application on July 22 at 5 p.m. (CT), 1,199,512 active submissions had been received for consideration of payment during an extremely successful 45-day application period — and just 12 weeks since the day the program was signed into law.
Applications will now be processed and verified before a 15-day appeal period begins for those whose application has been denied.
The appeal period is anticipated to be Tuesday, Aug. 16, through Wednesday, Aug. 31, at 5 p.m. (CT).
About Frontline Worker Pay
To thank those Minnesotans who worked on the frontlines during the COVID-19 peacetime emergency, Gov. Tim Walz signed Frontline Worker Payments into law April 29, 2022, enabling those workers to apply for Frontline Worker Pay.
The program is being administered by the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Employment and Economic Development, the Department of Revenue and Minnesota IT Services.
