Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund (BSITF) Distribution

The BSITF Distribution program offers financial assistance to individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury (SCI) in Georgia. To qualify, applicants must have been legal residents of Georgia for at least 12 months or moved to Georgia to reunite with family as caretakers. Applicants must provide medical verification of the injury, which must be caused by specific types of accidents or assaults. The fund is considered a payer of last resort, requiring applicants to exhaust all other potential sources of funding before applying. The lifetime cap for distributions is $12,000, and there are limits on additional distributions.
