If a Victim Needs Financial Support and Resource Assistance

All States receive federal funds to help support local victim assistance and compensation programs. There are also nongovernmental organizations that provide resources and services to crime victims.

These programs provide two general types of services—victim compensation and victim assistance—for many types of crimes. Compensation programs may reimburse victims, including victims of federal crimes, for expenses. Expenses that may be covered include medical costs, mental health counseling, funeral and burial costs, and lost wages or loss of support. Crime victim assistance programs provide a range of services, including crisis intervention, counseling, emergency shelter, criminal justice advocacy, and emergency transportation.
