CRIME VICTIM COMPENSATION STATE CERTIFICATION FORM



INSTRUCTIONS



The Crime Victims Compensation State Certification Form must be used by each state and territory submitting an application for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) crime victim compensation grant funds. The amount certified in Part I, line F will be used by the Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) to determine the annual VOCA grant award. State payments must be reported for the Federal Fiscal Year (October 1 through September 30).



PART I:

Line A. Please record the total amount of payments made by the compensation program to, or on behalf of, victims of crime from all funding sources. This amount may include payments for forensic sexual assault examinations including payments made in connection with a compensation claim or through a separate payment process. Do not include amounts expended for administrative costs in this figure.



Line B1 - B6. Please record all amounts to be deducted from the total funds paid to crime victims.

B1 Enter the total amount of VOCA grant funds used to pay compensation claims as reported on Line A. If funds from more than one grant were expended, enter the applicable grant years in the spaces provided. Do not include amounts expended for administrative costs.

B2 Enter amounts recovered through civil suits or third party settlements. You do not need to include amounts expended for collection costs, such as attorney fees charged in connection with subrogation recoveries and service fees paid on wage garnishments.

B3 Enter amounts of restitution recovered by your program, including reimbursements recovered for sexual assault examinations as well as compensation claims.

B4 Enter amounts paid to crime victims and/or providers that are returned to the compensation program or never cashed.

B5 Enter amounts awarded to crime victims for property damage or losses. Crime scene clean up, replacement costs for clothing and bedding held as evidence, and building modifications care compensable expenses that may be included in the annual certification, and should not be deducted as property damages or losses.

B6 Enter all other reimbursements.



Line C.* Please record the total of B1 through B6.
Line D.* Please record the total of all payments made to victims with state funds less all required reductions.
Line E. Recovery costs that may be claimed as a credit are limited to a percentage of those salaries incurred by the state compensation program which are specifically attributable to securing recoveries for crime victim claims. For a state program to qualify for the credit, they must verify that they have a staff person who dedicates at least 75% of his or her time to activities that are directly related to the recovery of crime victim restitution, subrogation, and refunds (RSR's). After calculating the percentage of each staff person's time that is dedicated to recovery of RSR's (75% or more), calculate this percentage of their annual salaries. Enter the total dollar amount. Please attach supporting documentation, such as time sheets, job descriptions, etc.
Line F.* Please record the total eligible payments to victims of crime from state funding sources. Upon review and approval by the OJP Office of the Comptroller, your Federal grant award will equal 60% of this figure.



Part II:

Line A1-13.** Report funds, other than VOCA grant funds, that were available to the state crime victim compensation during the reporting period. All amounts reported in Part I should also be reported in this section. Report funds carried over from a prior year on Line A-12.
Line B.* Please record the total of A1 through A13.
Line C.*** Enter the total amount of VOCA victim compensation funds available to the program. This amount may include more than one VOCA grant award and may be greater than the amount reported in Part I (B) 1.
Line D.* Enter the total revenue received from all sources. This figure represents the total available to the crime victim compensation program during the reporting period to pay crime victim compensation claims.
