The Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Disability Benefits Trust Fund (herein referred to as "the Fund") was created by the Mississippi Legislature to provide disability benefits to law enforcement officers and fire fighters injured in the line of duty. These benefits shall be payable for the period of time the covered individual is physically unable to perform the duties of his or her employment [not to exceed one (1) year of payments for any one (1) injury].
The Fund originated at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and came under the purview of the Mississippi Attorney Generals Office on July 1, 2006, pursuant to Section 45-2-21, Mississippi Code Annotated (1972).
