The fund, managed by the Attorney General's office, provides disability benefits to covered individuals injured in the line of duty. Benefits are in addition to workers' compensation and are limited to the difference between workers' compensation and the individual's regular base salary. The fund is financed by legislative appropriations and user charges.
