ADA and SITF

The American with Disabilities Act gives certain rights to workers with disabilities and highlights the need for a second injury fund. As more workers with disabilities enter the workplace, employers look to a state second injury fund to help them absorb the costs associated with potential subsequent on-the-job injuries.

The SITF reimburses insurers on qualifying workers' compensation claims, regardless of whether the employer is bound by the hiring and retention mandates defined in Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
