Workers compensation rate filings in Minnesota (2026)
Every carrier writing workers compensation coverage in Minnesota files its rates and rating rules with the state's insurance regulator — the primary-source records behind every workers compensation quote in Minnesota. This page tracks the 36 active workers compensation filing(s) on record for Minnesota, filed by 1 distinct carrier(s).
Workers compensation rate filings in Minnesota are reviewed by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. A workers compensation premium in Minnesota is built from each carrier's filed base rates and rating rules applied to your business's exposure — the classification of your operation and the rating basis for this line. Because every carrier files its own rates and loadings, two Minnesota businesses with the same profile can be quoted very different workers compensation premiums, which is exactly why comparing multiple carriers is the only reliable way to see where you land.
Carriers with workers compensation filings on record in Minnesota include Minnesota Workers' Compensation Insurers Association (MWCIA). These are filings on record — Minnesota's public system reports the carrier, line, and effective date but not the rate-change magnitude for every row. Where a base rate is filed, values run from $0.15 to $12.41 on the filed rating basis. The most-recent workers compensation filing we track for Minnesota is effective January 2026. Every row below cites its filing reference so the Minnesota regulator record can be verified.
