Victim Services

Online Application for Crime Victims Compensation

Applications for reparations may be filed in person with the Attorney General’s Office, online through this form or by mail. Applicants may represent themselves, or be assisted by attorneys. Attorneys are not permitted to charge applicants for their legal services, but they may make application to the program for compensation of their legal fees at a rate of $60 per hour.

The law provides for payment of an emergency award to qualified claimants who, because of the crime, no longer have access to resources that provide basic necessities. If this applies to you, after your application has been filed, you may call Crime Victims Compensation to request an emergency award.

Please have the following information ready to fill out the online application:

• The victim's personal information
• The claimants personal information (if other than the victim)
• Any medical records from the incident
• Any information pertaining to the crime
• The victim's family household income
• Dependant information
• Funeral Expense information
