Victim Compensation (VC)

Victim Compensation, governed by s. 960 of the Florida Statutes, provides financial assistance to or on behalf of victims who suffered injury or death. Compensation is offered for economic damages incurred such as wage loss, disability, or, loss of support; treatment costs such as medical, dental, mental health, or, grief counseling; crime scene cleanup; and, funeral/burial costs. The crime must be reported to law enforcement within 120 hours or good cause must be established for the delay. The application must also be filed within three years after the date of crime or within five years with good cause shown. The Schedule of Benefits identifies the amount available for each benefit type and the timeframe within which the loss must be incurred.
