1M Minnesotans, St. Thomas students to receive $487 in pandemic frontline pay

Minnesota will start sending out payments to more than 1 million Minnesotan frontline workers Wednesday, in an effort to recognize their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every person who applied will receive an email by Wednesday informing them of whether or not they were approved, which has left some St. Thomas students “patiently waiting” for their email and others “excited” about the result. Cam Kauffman has the story.
