Crime Victims Compensation Board

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, or property that had to be removed during the crime scene clean-up process.

The program is administered by the Crime Victims Compensation Division of the Attorney General's Office, who can be contacted by calling (785) 296-2359.
