176.183 UNINSURED AND SELF-INSURED EMPLOYERS; BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES AND DEPENDENTS; LIABILITY OF EMPLOYER.
Subdivision 1.Uninsured and self-insured employers; special compensation fund.
[Repealed, 1988 c 674 s 22]
Subd. 2.Special compensation fund; penalties.
After a hearing on a petition for benefits and prior to issuing an order against the special compensation fund to pay compensation benefits to an employee, a compensation judge shall first make findings regarding the insurance status of the employer and its liability. The special compensation fund shall not be found liable in the absence of a finding of liability against the employer. Where the liable employer is found after the hearing to be not insured or self-insured as provided for in this chapter, the compensation judge shall assess and order the employer to pay all compensation benefits to which the employee is entitled, the amount for any actual and necessary disbursements expended by the special compensation fund, any actual and necessary disbursements of the employee paid or reimbursed by the special compensation fund, any attorney fees paid to the employee's attorney by the special compensation fund, and a penalty in the amount of 65 percent of all compensation benefits ordered to be paid. The award issued against an employer after the hearing shall constitute a lien for government services pursuant to section 514.67 on all property of the employer and shall be subject to the provisions of the Revenue Recapture Act in chapter 270A. The special compensation fund may enforce the terms of that award in the same manner as a district court judgment. The commissioner of labor and industry, in accordance with the terms of the order awarding compensation, shall pay compensation to the employee or the employee's dependent from the special compensation fund. The commissioner of labor and industry shall certify to the commissioner of management and budget and to the legislature annually the total amount of compensation paid from the special compensation fund under subdivision 1. Compensation paid under this section shall remain a liability of the special compensation fund and shall be financed by the percentage assessed under section 176.129.
Subd. 3.Commissioner-directed payments.
Subd. 4.Notice by commissioner; rights of parties.
(a) If the commissioner authorizes the special compensation fund to commence payment without the issuance of a temporary order, the commissioner shall serve by first class mail notice upon the employer and other interested parties of the intention to commence payment. This notice shall be served at least ten calendar days before commencing payment and shall be mailed to the last known address of the employer. The notice shall include a statement that failure of the employer to respond within ten calendar days of the date of service will be deemed acceptance by the employer of the proposed action by the special compensation fund and will be deemed a waiver of defenses the employer has to the special compensation fund's action to recover amounts specified under subdivision 2. At any time prior to final determination of liability, the employer may appear as a party and present defenses the employer has, whether or not an appearance by the employer has previously been made in the matter. The special compensation fund has a cause of action against the employer to recover amounts specified under subdivision 2.
