A claimant may submit a written request to the Pollution Control Agency for emergency compensation for expenses related to a pending claim. The agency must respond to the request within 30 days. The agency shall determine whether to grant emergency compensation as described in Minnesota Statutes, section 115B.28, subdivision 2, clause (3), using the following criteria:

A. the failure to receive the emergency compensation may create a life-threatening or other seriously disruptive situation such as loss of critical medical care, loss of residence, or loss of other basic necessities; and

B. the emergency compensation is not likely to be provided by other sources of assistance available to the claimant.

The agency may award emergency compensation only to the extent necessary to meet immediate expenses.
