The Kansas Crime Victims Compensation Board provides victims with financial assistance for loss of earnings and out-of-pocket loss for injuries sustained as a direct result of violent crime. This includes reasonable medical care, mental health counseling or other services necessary as a result of the injury. In the event of the death of the victim, reasonable medical expenses and the partial cost of funeral, burial or cremation is reimbursable.
Personal property loss is not covered, with the exception of clothing and bedding seized as evidence.
A public hearing will be conducted on Thursday, June 14, 2012 from 10 to 11 a.m., at the Commonwealth Building, 720 SW Jackson, Suite 203, Topeka, Kansas to consider the revocation of rules and regulations for the Crime Victims Compensation Board.
