Mission: The purpose of minnesota self-insurers' security fund is to fulfill the obligations placed upon it by minnesota session laws, chapter 674 (1988), codified as minn. Stat. Section 79a. 01 et. Seq. , and acts amendatory thereto, and such other purposes with unlimited power to engage in and do any lawful act which any corporation organized as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the state of minnesota may do.
Programs: The organization was set up as a result of an act passed by the minnesota legislature in regard to workers' compensation. The purpose of the fund is to insure that any workers whose work related injury occurred when an employer was duly self-insured in the state of minnesota, will continue to receive workers' compensation benefits in the event the self-insured employer files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent and/or defaults on its workers' compensation obligation. Currently the minnesota self-insurers' security fund is utilizing posted security obtained from defaulting members and assessments to pay claims to or on behalf of the injured employees. If the posted security is inadequate, members of the minnesota self-insurers' security fund will be assessed so that the injured employees continue to receive appropriate benefits.
