Minn. Stat. § 256.019
When an assistance recovery amount is collected and posted by a county agency under the provisions governing public assistance programs including general assistance medical care formerly codified in chapter 256D, general assistance, and Minnesota supplemental aid, the county may keep one-half of the recovery made by the county agency using any method other than recoupment. For medical assistance, if the recovery is made by a county agency using any method other than recoupment, the county may keep one-half of the nonfederal share of the recovery. For MinnesotaCare, if the recovery is collected and posted by the county agency, the county may keep one-half of the nonfederal share of the recovery.
This does not apply to recoveries from medical providers or to recoveries begun by the Department of Human Services' Surveillance and Utilization Review Division, State Hospital Collections Unit, and the Benefit Recoveries Division or, by the attorney general's office, or child support collections.
