Relocation for Victims of Sexual Battery (RS)
Relocation for Victims of Sexual Battery, governed by s. 960.199 of the Florida Statutes, provides financial assistance for relocation expenses to victims of sexual battery who need to relocate due to a reasonable fear for their continued safety. The need must be certified by a certified rape crisis center in the State of Florida. The department must receive itemized receipts showing how the entire award was spent within 45 days of payment issuance or the payment will be subject to recoupment. The Schedule of Benefits identifies the amount available for each claim as well as the lifetime maximum.
