Minnesota frontline worker bonuses could be dwindling. Although more than 900,000 people have applied for frontline worker bonus pay in Minnesota, the state has denied more than 95,000 applications because people did not include proper identity verification. Another 54,877 people were ineligible because they were above the threshold for unemployment benefits. To receive a bonus, workers couldn’t have gotten more than 20 weeks of jobless benefits. Minnesota labor officials have said they plan to issue payments in September. The state is notifying people whose applications were denied about how they can appeal.
