A county-based Crime Victim Compensation Board determines awards through an application process. The Crime Victim Compensation Board does not compensate for loss of property or property damage. There are conditions which must be met to be eligible for compensation, and eligibility does not guarantee an award. To obtain an application or receive more information on Crime Victim Compensation, contact your county Victim Compensation Coordinator located in each County Attorney's Office. This court-ordered payment is known as restitution.
Victims of crime have a Constitutional right to receive prompt restitution.
If charges are filed in your case, it is important that you contact the prosecutor's Victim Services program for more information and assistance with the restitution process.
