Subd. 7.

Refund.

"Refund" means an individual income tax refund deleted text begin or political

chapter 290A, or a sustainable forest tax payment to a claimant under chapter 290C.

For purposes of this chapter, lottery prizes, as set forth in section 349A.08,
subdivision 8, and amounts granted to persons by the legislature on the recommendation
of the joint senate-house of representatives Subcommittee on Claims shall be treated
as refunds.

In the case of a joint property tax refund payable to spouses under chapter 290A,
the refund shall be considered as belonging to each spouse in the proportion of the total
refund that equals each spouse's proportion of the total income determined under section
290A.03, subdivision 3. In the case of a joint income tax refund under chapter 289A, the
refund shall be considered as belonging to each spouse in the proportion of the total
refund that equals each spouse's proportion of the total taxable income determined under
section 290.01, subdivision 29. The commissioner shall remit the entire refund to the
claimant agency, which shall, upon the request of the spouse who does not owe the debt,
determine the amount of the refund belonging to that spouse and refund the amount to
that spouse. For court fines, fees, and surcharges and court-ordered restitution under
section 611A.04, subdivision 2, the notice provided by the commissioner of revenue under

Subdivision 1.

General right to refund.

(a) Subject to the requirements of this
section and section 289A.40, a taxpayer who has paid a tax in excess of the taxes lawfully
due and who files a written claim for refund will be refunded or credited the overpayment
of the tax determined by the commissioner to be erroneously paid.

(b) The claim must specify the name of the taxpayer, the date when and the period
for which the tax was paid, the kind of tax paid, the amount of the tax that the taxpayer
claims was erroneously paid, the grounds on which a refund is claimed, and other
information relative to the payment and in the form required by the commissioner. An
income tax, estate tax, or corporate franchise tax return, or amended return claiming an
overpayment constitutes a claim for refund.

(c) When, in the course of an examination, and within the time for requesting a
refund, the commissioner determines that there has been an overpayment of tax, the
commissioner shall refund or credit the overpayment to the taxpayer and no demand
is necessary. If the overpayment exceeds $1, the amount of the overpayment must
be refunded to the taxpayer. If the amount of the overpayment is less than $1, the
commissioner is not required to refund. In these situations, the commissioner does not
have to make written findings or serve notice by mail to the taxpayer.

(d) If the amount allowable as a credit for withholding, estimated taxes, or dependent
care exceeds the tax against which the credit is allowable, the amount of the excess is
considered an overpayment. deleted text begin The refund allowed by section 290.06, subdivision 23, is also
considered an overpayment. deleted text end The requirements of section 270C.33 do not apply to the
refunding of such an overpayment shown on the original return filed by a taxpayer.

(e) If the entertainment tax withheld at the source exceeds by $1 or more the taxes,
penalties, and interest reported in the return of the entertainment entity or imposed by
section 290.9201, the excess must be refunded to the entertainment entity. If the excess is
less than $1, the commissioner need not refund that amount.

(f) If the surety deposit required for a construction contract exceeds the liability of
the out-of-state contractor, the commissioner shall refund the difference to the contractor.

(g) An action of the commissioner in refunding the amount of the overpayment does
not constitute a determination of the correctness of the return of the taxpayer.

(h) There is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue the
amount necessary to pay refunds allowed under this section.

and any other state paid property tax credits in any calendar year, and after any refund

they are unable to agree, the matter shall be referred to the commissioner of revenue
whose decision shall be final. Property taxes are considered payable in the year prescribed
by law for payment of the taxes.

In the case of a claim relating to "property taxes payable," the claimant must have
owned and occupied the homestead on January 2 of the year in which the tax is payable
and (i) the property must have been classified as homestead property pursuant to section
273.124, on or before December 15 of the assessment year to which the "property taxes

payment rates under this section shall be performed separately for each RUG's class.

(b) For the rate year beginning October 1, 2008, the commissioner shall apply limits

(4) The October 1, 2009, through October 1, 2015, operating payment rate for

the amount determined under paragraph (a) less the difference between the amount
determined under paragraph (a) for October 1, 2008, and the amount allowed under clause
(2). This rate restriction does not apply to rate increases provided in any other section.

(c) A portion of the funds received under this subdivision that are in excess of
operating payment rates that a facility would have received under section 256B.434, as
determined in accordance with clauses (1) to (3), shall be subject to the requirements in
section 256B.434, subdivision 19, paragraphs (b) to (h).

(1) Determine the amount of additional funding available to a facility, which shall be
equal to total medical assistance resident days from the most recent reporting year times
the difference between the blended rate determined in paragraph (a) for the rate year being
computed and the blended rate for the prior year.

(2) Determine the portion of all operating costs, for the most recent reporting year,
that are compensation related. If this value exceeds 75 percent, use 75 percent.

(3) Subtract the amount determined in clause (2) from 75 percent.

(4) The portion of the fund received under this subdivision that shall be subject to
the requirements in section 256B.434, subdivision 19, paragraphs (b) to (h), shall equal

restaurant meals for a person who was receiving a restaurant meal allowance on June 1,

(e) A fee of ten percent of the recipient's gross income or $25, whichever is less,

considered shelter needy for purposes of this paragraph.

(g) Notwithstanding this subdivision, to access housing and services as provided in
paragraph (f), the recipient may choose housing that may or may not be owned, operated,
or controlled by the recipient's service provider if the housing is located in a multifamily
building of six or more units. The maximum number of units that may be used by
