Multiple Injury Trust Fund

The Multiple Injury Trust Fund (MITF) is a creature of statute (85 O.S. and 85A O.S.) which pays permanent total disability benefits as ordered by the Oklahoma Court of Existing Claims and Oklahoma Worker’s Compensation Commission. MITF pays 90% of Oklahoma’s permanent disability. The Multiple Injury Trust Fund was founded in 1943 as a second injury fund to provide employers with protection from liability associated with hiring workers with pre-existing disabilities.
