DLI (Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry)

The Department of Labor & Industry is the state’s workers’ comp administrator. It publishes the annual rate updates (including the SAWW each October), runs the electronic claim system Work Comp Campus, registers QRCs, handles dispute intake and administrative conferences, and enforces insurer reporting and payment obligations.

For injured workers, DLI’s most underused asset is the Workers’ Compensation Help Desk, 651-284-5005 (press 3), where state staff answer questions about notices, deadlines, Work Comp Campus, and options for free. When this site’s tools flag something worth acting on, the help desk can answer questions, and so can the attorney who built this site.

DLI is also the source of record for the numbers this site runs on: rate tables, PPD schedules, and forms all trace back to DLI publications, which is why our sources pages cite them directly.
