Victim/Witness Assistance Claims Unit
Victims Compensation Program
The program reimburses eligible crime victims for losses incurred as a result of being injured or threatened with injury during a crime. Typical losses include medical/dental expenses, mental health counseling costs, wage loss, support loss for dependants, and funeral/burial expenses. The funds for this program consist of fines, forfeited bail bonds, penalties, and special assessments paid by federal and state criminal offenders. No taxpayer dollars are used to fund the Victim Compensation Program.
