The Subsequent Injury Trust Fund was enacted by the Georgia
General Assembly on July 1, 1977. Its purpose was to provide incentives to
employers in order to hire or retain qualified workers with disabilities. Over
the next thirty years it has evolved into a strong commitment of educating
employers, insurers, and their agents on the financial benefits associated with
building positive relationships with those who have a permanent impairment.
A board of five trustees, led by Chairman Mr. John Fervier,
governs the Subsequent Injury Trust Fund. Mr. John Fervier was reappointed
Chairman on the twentieth of August and will serve his term until July 1st,
2012.
