$3M in Unclaimed Checks for MN Workers Compensation Policyholders.

The Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Association (“WCRA”) mailed nearly 90,000 surplus distribution checks totaling $35 million to eligible insured employers (“policyholders”) in December 2022. Approximately 16,500 checks totaling $3 million remain uncashed. The WCRA issued checks to policyholders who had work comp premium in Minnesota in 2020 and whose portion of the distribution exceeded $15.

Policyholders still have an opportunity to claim their portion of the distribution. The WCRA has posted a searchable list on our website of all policyholders with uncashed checks. Policyholders may request a reissued check by submitting the request form on our website (www.wcra.biz/about-us/2022-surplus-distribution/) or calling our hotline at (833) 731-0743. Eligibility to receive a distribution will expire on December 31, 2023.
