Assist victims who received explanation or services with completing a victim compensation application during the reporting period, even if they did not apply. Simply providing an individual with an application does NOT qualify as assistance.
Services may include:
- Explanation: Explain to victims how the compensation process works and the steps that need to be taken to submit a claim.
- Services: Assist with completing forms and Webfile submissions, coordinating with the Virginia Victims Fund (VVF) to navigate the claim process, and answering questions. Acting as a liaison between victims and VVF once an application has been filed, obtaining information on the status of the claim, contacting medical providers and employers who have failed to respond to requests for information, providing the VVF with the status and disposition of the criminal case, and providing information on appeal procedures.
