1998 Minnesota Statutes

     115B.36 Amount and form of payment. 

    If the board decides to grant compensation, it shall 
 determine the net uncompensated loss payable to the claimant by 
 computing the total amount of compensable losses payable to the 
 claimant and subtracting the total amount of any compensation 
 received by the claimant for the same injury or damage from 
 other sources including, but not limited to, all forms of 
 insurance and social security and any emergency award made by 
 the board.  The board shall pay compensation in the amount of 
 the net uncompensated loss, provided that no claimant may 
 receive more than $250,000.  In the case of a death, the total 
 amount paid to all persons on behalf of the claimant may not 
 exceed $250,000. 

    Compensation from the account may be awarded in a lump sum 
 or in installments at the discretion of the board.
