     144.1491 Failure to complete obligated service. 

    Subdivision 1.    Penalties for breach of contract.  A 
 program participant who fails to complete two years of obligated 
 service shall repay the amount paid, as well as a financial 
 penalty based upon the length of the service obligation not 
 fulfilled.  If the participant has served at least one year, the 
 financial penalty is the number of unserved months multiplied by 
 $1,000.  If the participant has served less than one year, the 
 financial penalty is the total number of obligated months 
 multiplied by $1,000. 

    Subd. 2.    Suspension or waiver of obligation.  Payment 
 or service obligations cancel in the event of a participant's 
 death.  The commissioner may waive or suspend payment or service 
 obligations in case of total and permanent disability or 
 long-term temporary disability lasting for more than two years.  
 The commissioner shall evaluate all other requests for 
 suspension or waivers on a case-by-case basis.
