Executive Order 20-50
Earlier this week, Governor Tim Walz signed Executive Order 20-50, exempting federal, tribal, state, and local COVID-19 relief funds from being automatically intercepted by creditors and debt collectors. As many Minnesotans experience unemployment and food and housing insecurity due to COVID-19, Executive Order 20-50 allows Minnesotans to use COVID-19 assistance for their immediate needs, rather than having the funding automatically intercepted by creditors or debt collectors.
