Agency Overview

Montana State Fund (MSF) is the state's largest workers' compensation insurance company, protecting approximately 25,000 businesses, organizations and their workers. 

Provides a guaranteed market, meaning MSF must write workers' compensation policies, regardless of the risk presented, unless a requester has defaulted on a state fund obligation. MSF serves as one option for any employer that wants workers' compensation in addition to private insurance and self-insurance. 

MSF is a non-profit, independent public corporation, per 39-71-2313, MCA; is subject to a legislative directive to "be neither more nor less than self-supporting" (39-71-2311, MCA), and enabled under 39-71-2316, MCA, to "perform all functions and exercise all powers of a private insurance carrier that are necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the administration of the state fund."
