The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), through its Terrorism and International Victims Assistance Services Division, offers informational resources and services related to international crime victim issues, including developing programs to support victims of terrorism.
One such program offers help for victims of international terrorism: the International Terrorism Victim Expense Reimbursement Program (ITVERP), which is intended to reimburse victims for allowable expenses incurred as a result of acts of terrorism occurring outside the United States.
