Minnesota Rusco customers face July 1 claim deadline

Minnesota Rusco customers must file claims with the state Contractor Recovery Fund by July 1, 2026, to try to recover losses after a U.S. Bankruptcy Court cleared a path despite the company's bankruptcy.[1]

Attorney General Keith Ellison's office says customers can ask the bankruptcy court to lift the bankruptcy stay without an attorney, obtain a state court judgment, and then file a claim.[1] Total payouts from the fund are capped at $550,000 and will be prorated or stop if the cap is exhausted.[1]

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved a procedure allowing customers to seek relief through the state Contractor Recovery Fund even though Minnesota Rusco is in bankruptcy.[1] Consumers who believe they have claims should act before the July 1 deadline to preserve their chance at recovery.
