How NSITF Protects Workers

Compensation
Cash and non-cash benefits for work-related injuries, occupational diseases, or death — including permanent-disability payments and support for dependants.
File a claimRehabilitation
Vocational and medical rehabilitation for injured workers, including prosthetic fittings and return-to-work support — restoring livelihood, not just paying a claim.
