What is the difference between restitution and Victims Compensation Assistance Program?
The Victims Compensation Assistance Program is the payer of last resort. You must utilize all other methods of payment, such as health insurance or car insurance before you are eligible to apply for Victims Compensation Assistance Program. Victims Compensation Assistance Program does not cover property loss or pain and suffering. For more information, see the special section on Victims Compensation Assistance Program on this site.
