Part 5220.1200 - REHABILITATION SERVICES, SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS

Rehabilitation services pursuant to an approved rehabilitation plan are mandatory for qualified employees. However, if a good faith dispute exists regarding entitlement to rehabilitation services, that dispute may be converted into cash by settlement agreement between the parties pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 176.521. Any settlement agreement purporting to compromise all rehabilitation services must be approved by the commissioner, a compensation judge, or the Workers' Compensation Court of Appeals.
