FACILITY FUNDING.
(a) Effective July 1, 2022, through

this section shall be increased by $52.11 per resident day.
(b) To be eligible to receive a payment
under this section, a nursing facility must attest to the commissioner of human

compensation-related costs for employees directly employed by the facility on
or after July 1, 2022, except:

operation;
(2) persons employed in the central
office of an entity that has any ownership interest in the nursing facility or
exercises control over the nursing facility; and
(3) persons paid by the nursing
facility under a management or vendor contract.
(c) Contracted housekeeping, dietary,
and laundry employees providing services on site at the nursing facility are
eligible for increases under this section as long as the agency that employs
them submits to the nursing facility proof of the costs of increases provided
to those employees that comply with paragraph (d).
(d) For purposes of this section,
compensation-related costs include:
(1) permanent new increases to wages
and salaries implemented after July 1, 2022, and paid out to employees no later
than December 31, 2024; and
(2) the employer's share of FICA taxes,
Medicare taxes, state and federal unemployment taxes, PERA, workers'

(2) post the distribution plan and
leave it posted for a period of at least six months in an area of the facility
to which all employees have access. The
posted distribution plan must include instructions for employees who believe
they have not received the compensation-related cost increases specified in
paragraph (d), and the plan must include the email address and the telephone
number that may be used by the employee to contact the commissioner or the
commissioner's representative. A
facility that receives a rate increase under this section must submit a copy of
its distribution plan to the commissioner by October 1, 2022.
(f) If the nursing facility expends
less on new compensated-related costs than the amount that was made available
by this rate increase for that purpose, the amount of this rate adjustment
shall be reduced to equal the amount utilized by the facility for purposes
authorized under this section. If the
facility fails to post the distribution plan in their facility as required,
fails to submit their distribution plan to the commissioner by the due date, or
uses these funds for unauthorized purposes, these rate increases must be treated
as an overpayment and subsequently recovered.
(g) The commissioner shall not treat payments received under this section as an applicable credit for purposes of setting total payment rates under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 256R."
