Crime Victims' Compensation Program (CVC)
The Crime Victims' Compensation Program provides financial assistance to people who sustained traumatic injuries resulting from certain violent crimes. We know that injuries can be more than just physical. The CVC Program can cover traumas to emotional and mental health well-being too.
Victims seeking compensation assistance complete an online application that includes documentation necessary to determine eligibility. Please know that eligibility for this program is not guaranteed. The program is a “payor of last resort” and only considers crime related expenses not covered by other “collateral” sources that include, but are not limited to, insurance, restitution, civil lawsuits, or crowdsource fundraising platforms.
(Crime Victims’ Compensation applications must be completed by the crime victim, an immediate family member, survivor, or the victim’s legal counsel. Hospitals and medical providers cannot file CVC applications on behalf of a patient.)
