§ 10.30 — Employees Compensation Revolving Fund Reimbursement

Plain-Language Summary

When a state department owes money to the employees' workers' compensation revolving fund for claims paid to injured employees, it must repay the fund from its own operating budget if no other appropriation covers the repayment. This ensures that the workers' compensation fund is kept whole even when the legislature has not specifically set aside money for repayment. State agencies cannot simply ignore debts to this fund.

10.30 EMPLOYEES COMPENSATION REVOLVING FUND REIMBURSEMENT.

In all cases where any state department owes the employees compensation revolving fund, created by sections 176.591 to 176.611, for claims paid its employees, and no direct appropriation is made therefor, such department shall reimburse the revolving fund from the money appropriated for operation of the department.

Practical Notes

State agencies must budget for their workers’ compensation costs and repay the revolving fund from their general operating appropriations when specific repayment funds are not provided. Agency financial officers need to track and plan for these reimbursement obligations. Failure to reimburse the fund as required could result in the agency exceeding its appropriation for operating costs.
