- Minnesota Paid Leave has paid out nearly double what workers, employers have paid in
Minnesota’s Paid Leave program has paid out $598 million in its first six months, exceeding the $344 million collected through a 0.88% wage tax split between workers and employers. A $688 million one-time startup fund covers remaining payments, but a funding gap persists, with delays in claim approvals reported by applicants like military veteran Robert Younger.
