If the victim has an insurance policy, will the program still cover the victim's expenses?

Insurance benefits and other available resources must be used or exhausted prior to payment of benefits by the Crime Victims Compensation Program. If benefits from these sources do not cover the full amount of losses, funds from the Crime Victims Compensation Program may be applied to the remaining obligations.

Other sources for payment include: health insurance, life insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, veterans benefits, workers' compensation, social security, disability insurance, sick leave paid by employers, restitution from the offender, and employee assistance programs.
