The Traumatic Brain Injury Fund (TBI Fund) was established in 2002 by the New Jersey State Legislature and is administered by the Division of Disability Services (DDS) of the New Jersey Department of Human Services. It is funded through a surcharge on motor vehicle registrations.

The purpose of the TBI Fund is two-fold. First, the Fund allows New Jersey residents who have survived an acquired brain injury to obtain the services and supports they need to live in the community, when insurance, personal resources and/or public programs are unavailable to meet their needs. The Fund pays for support and services that foster independence and maximize quality of life.

The second purpose of the TBI Fund is to provide public information and prevention education related to brain injury. The TBI Fund and the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey are working together in this endeavor.

Through both financial relief and public awareness, the TBI Fund provides a tremendous public service to the residents of our state.
