Victim Compensation Program

The Victim Compensation Program is a government-funded initiative that provides financial assistance to victims of violent crimes. It helps cover expenses such as medical bills, counseling, funeral costs, and lost wages that result directly from the crime. The program aims to alleviate the economic burden on victims and their families when the offender cannot pay restitution. Eligibility varies by jurisdiction, but generally, victims must report the crime promptly and cooperate with law enforcement. It is designed to support recovery and resilience by ensuring victims receive necessary financial aid during difficult times.
