GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EMPLOYER
Employers, not employees, are responsible for completing this form. The information is needed to determine liability and entitlement
to benefits. You must file this form with your insurer, and give a copy to the employee and the employee’s local union office. You are
required to provide the employee with a copy of the Employee Information Sheet, which is available on the Department of Labor and
Industry’s web site at www.dli.mn.gov
.
Filing this form is not an admission of liability. You must report a claim to your insurer whenever anyone believes that a work-
related injury or illness that requires medical care or where lost time from work has occurred. If the claimed injury wholly or partially
incapacitates the employee for more than three calendar days, the claim must be made on this form and reported to your insurer within
ten days. Your insurer may require you to file it sooner. Failure to file within the ten days may result in penalties. It is important to file
this form quickly to allow your insurer time to investigate the claim. Your insurer will report the injury to the Department of Labor and
Industry (Department), when necessary. Self-insured employers have 14 days to report the injury to the Department, when necessary.
If the claim involves death or serious injury (including injuries that later result in death), you must notify the Department and your insurer
within 48 hours of the occurrence. The claim can be reported initially to the Department by telephone (651-284-5041), fax (651-284-
5731), or personal notice. The initial notice must be followed by the filing of this form with the Department within seven days of the
occurrence.
SEND THIS FORM TO YOUR INSURER IMMEDIATELY DO NOT WAIT FOR THE DOCTOR’S REPORT
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EMPLOYER ON COMPLETING THIS FORM
Item 2: OSHA case #. Fill in the case number from the OSHA 300 log. This form contains all items required by the OSHA form 301.
Items 17-21: Fill in all the wage information. If the employee does not work a regularly scheduled work week, attach a 26 week
wage statement so your insurer can calculate the appropriate average weekly wage. Attach a separate sheet giving the weekly
value of any meals, lodging, or 2nd income paid to the employee.
Item 20: Fill in the average number of days per week that the employee works. Also include their normal work schedule, Sunday -
Saturday, by checking the appropriate boxes. If the employee’s work schedule fluctuates from week-to-week, leave the boxes blank.
Items 22-24: Be as specific as possible in describing: the events causing the injury; the nature of the injury (cut, sprain, burn, etc.),
and the part(s) of body injured (back, arm, etc.); and the tools, equipment, machines, objects or substances involved.
Item 26: Fill in the first day the employee lost any time from work (including time lost for medical treatment), even if you paid the
employee for the lost time.
Item 27: Check the appropriate box to indicate if there was lost time on the date of injury and whether you paid for that lost time.
Item 28: Fill in the date you first became aware of the injury or illness.
Item 29: Fill in the date you became aware that the lost time indicated in Item 26 was related to the claimed injury.
Item 30: Leave the box blank if the employee has not returned to work by the time you file this form. If the employee has returned to
work, fill in the date and answer the questions in Items 31 and 32. Notify your insurer if the employee misses time due to this injury
after that date.
Item 34: Check all the boxes that apply AT the time you file this form.
Item 39: Fill in your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). For information, see
www.usa.gov/Business/Business-
Gateway.shtml and click on Get an Employer ID Number”.
Items 40 and 44: Fill in your Unemployment ID number and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, which
are both assigned by the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program (651-296-6141).
Items 46-54: Your insurer or claims administrator will complete this information if you do not have it available.
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSURER/CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR
The following data elements must be completed on this form prior to filing with the Department of Labor and Industry: employee’s
name and social security number; date of injury; and the names of the employer and insurer. If any of this information is missing, the
First Report will be rejected and returned to you (see Minn. Stat. § 176.275). Providing the name of the third party administrator does
not meet the statutory requirement to provide the name of the insurer. NOTE: If the claim does not involve lost time beyond the waiting
period or potential PPD, the form does NOT need to be filed with the Department.
Item 46: Fill in the name of the insurance company. If the employer is self-insured, indicate the name of the licensed or public self-
insured company or group.
Items 47-48: Fill in the legal name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) of the employer who purchased the policy
from the insurer (named in Item 46) and the policy number. If the employer is licensed to self-insure, fill in the certificate number.
Item 49: Fill in the insurer’s FEIN.
Item 51: Fill in the name and address of the company administering the claim (either the insurer or third party administrator). Be
sure to mark either the “Insurer” or “TPA” box.

If the insurer accepts your claim for wage-loss bene ts and you have been disabled for more than three calendar-days:
The insurer will send you a copy of the Notice of Insurer’s Primary Liability Determination form stating your claim is accepted.
The insurer must start paying wage-loss bene ts within 14 days of the date your employer knows about your work injury and lost wages.
The insurer must pay bene ts on time. Wage-loss bene ts are paid at the same intervals as your work paychecks.
If the insurer denies your claim for wage-loss bene ts:
The insurer will send you a copy of the Notice of Insurer’s Primary Liability Determination form stating it is denying primary liability
for your claim. The form must clearly explain the facts and reasons why the insurer be lieves your injury or illness did not result from your
work.
If you disagree with the denial, you should talk with the insurance claims adjuster who is handling your claim. Your employer’s insurance
company can answer most questions about your claim.
If you are not satis ed with the response you receive from the insurer and still disagree with the denial, you should contact the Department
of Labor and Industry at one of the numbers listed below to discuss your options.
Fraud
Collecting workers’ compensation bene ts you are not entitled to is theft. Any theft of more than $500 is a felony.
Any person who, with intent to defraud, receives workers’ compensation bene ts to which the person is not entitled by knowingly misrepresenting,
misstating, or failing to disclose any material fact is guilty of theft and shall be sentenced pursuant to section 609.52, subdivision 3.
A suspected fraud can be reported by anyone. If you have reason to suspect someone is committing workers’ compensation fraud, call
1-888-FRAUD MN (1-888-372-8366). All suspected violations will be investigated.

hacerla.
Obtenga confirmación por escrito de su médico de cualquier autorización para ausentarse del trabajo.
