Poster Update Log: Minnesota Poster Update


Overview

  • Effective on February 2026, Minnesota updated its Workers' Compensation posting to include information about benefits available for qualifying work-related psychological injuries.

What Changed

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry has made a mandatory update to the state's Workers' Compensation posting. The revision adds new language informing employees that certain work-related psychological injuries may qualify for workers' compensation benefits. Employers are required to display the updated posting to remain compliant with state law.

 

Key Details Included in the Notice

  •  Qualifying Psychological Injuries: A work-related psychological injury may be eligible for benefits under two conditions:
    • The injury is diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with at least one month of persistent symptoms, confirmed by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.
    • The psychological injury is accompanied by a physical injury.
  •  Diagnosis Requirement: PTSD claims require a formal diagnosis from a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist to qualify.
  •  Mandatory Posting: This is a required update. Employers must replace outdated Workers' Compensation posters to reflect the new language.

 

The updated notice reads exactly as follows:

"Some work-related psychological injuries may qualify you for benefits: if your injury is post-traumatic stress disorder with at least one month of persistent symptoms and diagnosed by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist; or if the psychological injury is accompanied by a physical injury."
