For provisions of the most recent collective bargaining agreement between SEIU
Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa and the state of Minnesota that were not implemented on
January 1, 2026, due to the lack of federal approval of the associated state plan amendments,
if the federal approval includes a retroactive rate increase, the provisions of the most recent
collective bargaining agreement are effective retroactively from the same date as the
retroactive rate increase. The commissioner of human services must issue instructions to
ensure that wage remediation occurs for all individual providers covered by the collective
bargaining agreement as soon as possible following federal approval and all individual
providers covered by the collective bargaining agreement receive back pay for the period
between federal approval and the effective date of the retroactive rate increase.
