3. License holder information
3.1 License holder name(s)/Controlling Individual(s)/Authorized Agent(s)
The license holder is the business entity that is responsible for the license. An “individual” license holder is generally
a sole owner or sole proprietorship where the business is owned and run by one individual and in which there is no
legal distinction between the owner and the business. This means you have not formed a corporation (e.g., business,
for profit, nonprofit, limited liability corporation) and have not organized as a partnership, association, other
organization and are not a government entity. You may have registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office
2/24/2014 2
to use an assumed name, and you may have employees, but you are still a sole owner/sole proprietor. Two or more
individuals may be co-applicants or co-license holders if they are not a corporation, partnership, voluntary association,
or other organization or government entity. All individual license holders and applicants are also the controlling
individuals as defined under section 245A.02, subdivision 5a, and authorized agents as required by section 245A.04,
subdivision 1 (b). Attach additional pages if needed.

3.2 Tax identification information (This information is not public):
You are required to provide your tax identification information, including your Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN),
if you have one.
You must provide your Minnesota Tax Identification Number, if you have one. The Minnesota Department of
Revenue requires a business to have a Minnesota Tax ID if it collects sales tax on retail sales in Minnesota; has
employees and collects withholding taxes; or is a corporation doing business in Minnesota and files a tax return with
the Department of Revenue.
For information on registering for a Minnesota Tax ID, go to the Minnesota Department of Revenue website. You
must also provide your FEIN, if you have one. This is a nine-digit number you obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) because you have employees or operate your business as a corporation or partnership.
Individual applicants and license holders must also provide their Social Security Number (SSN). If the FEIN and the
SSN are both entered, the FEIN will be used for tax purposes and the SSN will be used for identification purposes
only. Tax identification information is not public, except that under section 270C.72, DHS is required to provide the
Minnesota Department of Revenue the tax identification number and the Social Security Number of each license
applicant. Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, we must advise you that:
i. This information may be used to deny the issuance of a license, or to revoke a license, if you owe the
Minnesota Department of Revenue delinquent taxes, penalties, or interest.
ii. DHS will only provide the tax identification information to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
However, under the Federal Exchange of Information Act, the Department of Revenue is allowed to
supply this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

10. Workers compensation insurance verification
You must complete and submit the Certificate of Compliance Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Law MN LIC 04
form with your license application in order for your application to be complete. Under section 176.182 DHS is
prohibited from issuing a license until the applicant presents acceptable evidence of compliance with the worker’s
compensation insurance requirement of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 176.
Minnesota workers’ compensation law requires all employers to purchase workers’ compensation insurance or
become self-insured. This is often referred to as ”mandatory coverage.” Employers are generally defined as those
who hire another to perform services. Employees are generally defined as people performing services for another,
for hire, including minors and workers who are not citizens. For information on worker’s compensation insurance
requirements go to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website at:
http:www.dli.mn.gov/WorkComp.asp.
11. Applicant acknowledgement of public funding reimbursement for licensed services
Under section 245A.04, subdivision 1, DHS license holders who elect to receive any public funding reimbursement,
including Medical Assistance or Child Care Assistance, for the licensed services, must acknowledge that they will
comply with funding requirements, that compliance with those requirements may be monitored by DHS Licensing,
and that they know the consequences for noncompliance with those requirements. As a DHS license applicant you
must verify whether you intend to receive any public funding by checking the applicable box for item 1 or 2 below. If
you check item 2, you are acknowledging the conditions stated in (a) to (c):
1. I do not elect to receive any public funding reimbursement for the licensed services.
2. I do elect to receive public funding reimbursement for the licensed services and I acknowledge the
following:
a. I must comply with the provider enrollment agreement or registration requirements for receipt of
public funding;
b. My compliance with the provider enrollment agreement or registration requirements for receipt of
public funding may be monitored by DHS Licensing as part of a licensing investigation or licensing
inspection; and
c. That noncompliance with the provider enrollment agreement or registration requirements for receipt of
public funding that is identified through a licensing investigation or licensing inspection, or
noncompliance with a licensing requirement that is a basis of enrollment for reimbursement for a
service, may result in:
(1) a correction order or a conditional license under section 245A.06, or sanctions under section 245A.07;
(2) nonpayment of claims submitted by the license holder for public program reimbursement;
(3) recovery of payments made for the service;
(4) disenrollment in the public payment program; or
(5) other administrative, civil, or criminal penalties as provided by law.
