Limits and rules for victim awards
The program administrator decides who gets emergency awards and can set rules. Any emergency payment is taken out of your final award. If you are later not eligible, you must repay the emergency payment. Your final award cannot be more than $25,000. If you install safety changes, you must pay any ongoing monitoring or upkeep costs.
Emergency help for crime victims
You can get emergency payments for key costs after a violent crime. Covered items are burial (up to $10,000) if the victim died from a violent crime, crime scene cleanup (up to $2,000), relocation costs (up to $8,000), and small safety changes to your home needed to keep you safe (up to $1,000). You cannot get a home-modification payment if you also get relocation help.
