INSTRUCTIONS
The above named individual has applied for certification by the Subsequent Injury Fund as a person with a disability. To help us

Section 39-71-901, MCA defines a person with a disability as a person who has a medically certifiable permanent impairment that
is a substantial obstacle to obtaining employment or to obtaining reemployment if the employee should become unemployed,
considering such factors as the person’s age, education, training, experience, and employment rejection.
Permanent restrictions placed on workers’ return to employment or reemployment are compared to the above factors to determine
whether there is a substantial obstacle as a result of the permanent impairment.
To meet the medical requirement for certification, the applicant must substantiate that he/she has “a medically certifiable
permanent impairment.” The American Medical Association (Guides to Evaluation of Permanent Impairment) defines impairment
“as the loss of, loss of use of, or derangement of any body part, system or function. A permanent impairment is an impairment that
has become static or well stabilized with or without medical treatment, or that is not likely to remit despite medical treatment of
the impairing condition.”
