Victim Compensation Fund
Fund Description
This account receives federal grants, restitution
payments, lawsuit settlements, and receipts from
Department of Transportation for reinstatement of
revoked licenses of drunk drivers.
Fund Justification
The Victim Compensation Fund is part of the Crime
Victim Assistance Program. This program provides
funding for compensation to victims of crime.
Victims receive reimbursement for costs associated
with physical and emotional injury as the result of
crime. This fund provides staff and support to administer
this fund. Twenty-two FTE's are currently
funded. The caseload for the Crime Victims Assistance
Program has increased dramatically over the
past few years. The national caseload for an investigator
in this field is 250 cases per year. Iowa's investigators
handle twice the national average, 500 cases
per year.
