Expanding Minnesota's Workforce Just Got Easier!
New Minnesota Fund Reimburses Employers for Costs of Reasonable Accommodations
Minnesota job seekers with disabilities have the skills, experience, drive, and determination that employers are desperate for. But many small and mid-size businesses worry about the cost of providing reasonable accommodations.
Minnesota’s NEW Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund is Here to Help!
Now, through the Department of Employment and Economic Development’s (DEED’s) Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund (ERAF) small to mid-sized Minnesota employers can request reimbursement for expenses related to providing reasonable accommodations for job applicants and employees with disabilities. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it connects great workers with great businesses.
What’s a Reasonable Accommodation?
Some examples of reasonable accommodations include ergonomic workstations, specialized software, captioning services, special equipment, and much more. Our website and the ERAF staff can walk you through the kinds of accommodations covered by the fund.
We're Here to Help
Do you have questions about reasonable accommodations? Do you need to know more about the ADA? The ERAF staff can answer questions, provide technical assistance, and provide more information about the fund and how it can help Minnesota businesses.

Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund
The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund (ERAF) creates a central fund where small to mid-sized Minnesota employers can request reimbursement for expenses related to providing reasonable accommodations for job applicants and employees with disabilities. The ERAF's purpose is to encourage employment of people with disabilities by reducing any perceived or real financial barriers.
In addition to processing reimbursements, the ERAF Coordinator is available for technical assistance (TA) and consultation at no cost to employers. TA is available for the following activities:
- Understanding the Americans with Disabilities Act as it pertains to hiring and retaining individuals with disabilities and implementing reasonable accommodations;
- Consulting on how to locate, purchase, and implement reasonable accommodations that meet the needs of individuals with disabilities;
- Connecting employers to disability-related trainings and resources, including DEED-specific programs and initiatives; and
- Answering any questions about the ERAF.
ERAF is a two-year pilot program from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025. This program is appropriated $4,000,000.
