CHILD ABUSE VICTIM COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS IN PENNSYLVANIA

Crime victims compensation programs in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States provide important and needed help and financial assistance to victims of crime.

As a result of being a victim of child abuse, the crime victim's family and loved ones will most likely have to bear the burden of the financial costs associated with the child abuse victim in addition to their recovering from the physical injuries and overcoming post traumatic stress.

The good news is that help is available!

Being a victim of violence or abuse places a tremendous amount of the stress on the victims and their families. They should not have to be concerned with worrying about paying the bills associated with their medical services, counseling services, lost income or funeral and burial expenses where a loved died as a result of being a victim.

Luckily, each state has a crime victim compensation program and a number of them receive funds under the Victim of Crime Act (VOCA) that allows them to offer financial help to child abuse victims and their families.

In addition to the government funds, the crime victims compensation fund in most states obtain this money almost exclusively from the penalties, fees and fines assessed the perpetrators and criminals who were found guilty of the crime. This provides the states with the resources to also fund programs that provide crime victim assistance and services in your area.

In Pennsylvania, a victim of child abuse can apply to receive money from the crime victims' compensation fund by filing an application with the Victim Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), also referred to as the Office of Victim Services (OVS).

If you or a member of your family was a victim of rape, domestic violence, murder or homicide, child abuse, harassment, intimate partner violence or violence against women, assault, arson, sexual assault, stalking, domestic abuse, elder abuse, gang violence or if someone has violated your order of protection (OOP) or protection from abuse order (PFA), we can help you submit an application to see how much help you qualify for. 

  • Medical, dental and mental health counseling bills and expenses
  • Child care costs
  • Burial and funeral costs and expenses
  • Loss of earnings or loss of support
  • Transportation and costs and expenses
  • Crime Scene clean-up
  • Reimbursement for stolen cash

CHILD ABUSE VICTIM HELP AND ASSISTANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA

You should know, while the victim of crime compensation programs for all states are different and are administered under each state's own laws, the application process can be sometimes be lengthily and requiring extensive follow up by the child abuse victim or claimant. This is why it can be extremely beneficial to work with a child abuse victim advocate or child abuse victim attorney who specializes in criminal injury compensation and who can advise you of your child abuse victim's rights.

​However, all states have similar basic requirements to assess eligibility for financial help and assistance for the victim. In general, a victim is required to do the following:

  • Timely notify and file a report with the police, troopers, sheriff or child protective services, family court or other criminal justice authority or agency responsible for the enforcement of the law
  • Cooperate with law enforcement, the district attorney (DA) and prosecutors in the investigation and prosecution of the claim
  • Submit and file a crime victim compensation application within the allowed time period (exceptions may apply)
  • Have an un-reimbursed expense or loss not being paid for by insurance or another government benefit program (crime victim compensation assistance programs are payers of last resort)
  • That you are not responsible for are engaging in some improper act that contributed to the crime
  • The location, arrest or conviction of the criminal or perpetrator is not a requirement (a prime example is being injured as a result of being a victim of hit and run.)
