Subsequent Injury Benefit Trust Fund Cases (SIBTF)

Sharp Medical Evaluators  >  About Us  >  Subsequent Injury Benefit Trust Fund Cases (SIBTF)

SIBTF

The Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF) is designed to provide additional compensation to injured workers who have a pre-existing disability or impairment and suffer a subsequent work-related injury. This compensation aims to assist workers who experience an increased level of disability due to the combination of their pre-existing conditions and new injuries, helping bridge the gap left by standard workers’ compensation benefits.

Who Qualifies for SIBTF?

To qualify for SIBTF benefits, an injured worker must meet specific criteria, including:

A prior disability or impairment that was labor-disabling.

A subsequent work-related injury that results in additional permanent disability.

Combined disabilities must meet a specific threshold to qualify for compensation under SIBTF.
