The Crime Victims Compensation Program (CVCP) is the payer of last resort. What this means is that if you have any primary insurance, we will pay only after the primary insurer has paid. Money paid on behalf of the crime victim is subject to a lien against any recovery from civil, criminal (restitution), or insurance settlements.

When you receive money from a settlement, the law requires you to:

  1. Advise CVCP.
  2. Reimburse CVCP for claim expenses.

Examples of settlement recoveries include money received from:

Money reimbursed to CVCP provides funds to assist other victims of crime.
