This is a breaking story I'm working on. KSTP is reporting that around 214,000 people who applied for the Front-Line Worker pay were denied. Of that 42,687 were denied due to 'income too high.'
I'm hearing many CO's were denied the pay.
We all know that Detention Deputies/ Correctional Officers were the very definition of front-line workers. Working in close proximity with inmates, massive forced overtime, mandatory vaccinations, high Covid infection rates.
It would seem the very definition of who should be rewarded! My guess is many were disqualified, especially those at top pay, because the mandatory overtime pushed them over the income threshold.
I'm guessing this is the same for others in Public Safety.
I have reached out to the State asking how many of the following were denied due to too much income:
If you were denied and work in one of these fields contact me at Wade.Laszlo@protonmail.com
If this turns out to be true it isn't right!
