Minn. R. 1420.2400
Petitions for contribution or reimbursement in cases pending before the office must describe in detail the basis of a claim for contribution or reimbursement against the additional employer, insurer, or the special compensation fund. The petition must be supported by medical evidence and signed by the petitioner. If a claim petition is currently pending, and the party from whom contribution or reimbursement is sought is not a party, the petition for contribution or reimbursement must be accompanied by either a petition for joinder of the party from whom reimbursement or contribution is sought, or a petition for consolidation under part 1420.2500. The two actions may be combined on a joint petition.
A petition for contribution or reimbursement must be filed no later than ten days before a pretrial conference or 60 days before hearing if a pretrial conference is not held. Copies of all pleadings, including a notice of pretrial conference, must be served upon the additional employers or insurers by the party bringing the petition.
Within 20 days after being served with a copy of a petition for contribution or reimbursement, employers or their insurers, other than the petitioning party, shall file an answer to the petition under Minnesota Statutes, section 176.321.
