A violent crime can have a lasting impact and can bring changes that one might not expect. The Office of the Attorney General led the way for legislation that created the Crime Victims Compensation Act. This law reserved resources to help those who lives were interrupted by a violent crime. This financial assistance could include offsetting costs related to:
Accessibility and Usability of Property
Crime-Scene Clean Up
Funeral/Burial Expenses
Loss of Earnings
Medical, Hospital and Dental Expenses
Mental Health Counseling Expenses
Relocation Costs
Replacement Costs
Tuition Expenses
The Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Program offers reimbursement up to $45,000 ($27,000 for crimes before 8/7/22) for expenses incurred by eligible victims as a result of a violent crime.
