Valid work authorization required to receive benefits under the Minnesota Paid Leave Law.

HF 3573 requires individuals to have valid work authorization to qualify for benefits under Minnesota's Paid Leave Law. It amends the law to explicitly exclude people without proper work permits from receiving paid leave benefits. The bill affects workers applying for benefits who lack authorized work status, adding this as a new eligibility requirement. Key changes include updating definitions of "covered individual" and "employee" to exclude those without valid work authorization, and adding work authorization as a mandatory requirement for benefit accounts.
