The Indiana Victim Compensation Program
The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute manages the Indiana Victim Compensation Program, which works to reduce the impact of crime on victims’ lives. The program reimburses victims (or their dependents), who have suffered physical injury within the last two years, for certain costs incurred as a result of a violent crime. Expenses include but are not limited to: medical bills, mental health counseling, lost wages, childcare services, attorney fees and funeral expenses, up to a certain amount.
In Indiana, there are two ways to apply: online and a paper application. By law, the program is a payor of last resort, which means applicants are compensated for covered expenses that have not been and will not be compensated from any other source.
