MISSISSIPPI CRIME VICTIMS' COMPENSATION ACT

Miss. Code Ann. §99-41-1 et. seq.

If you or a family member have been a victim of a violent crime and have financial losses resulting from the

injuries that are not covered in full by insurance or any other source, the Crime Victim Compensation Program

may be of some assistance to you. A single violent crime can have a profound impact on a person's life,

resulting in serious physical injury, psychological trauma, absence from work and other financial strains. While

no amount of financial aid can erase the trauma of crime, it is the goal of this Program to ease the aftermath

of crime for the victim whenever possible.

GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

The victim must report the crime to law enforcement officials within 72 hours after the crime or show

good cause for not reporting.

Application must be filed within 24 months after the date of the crime if the crime occurred before July

1, 2007. Application must be filed within 36 months after the date of the crime if the crime occurred

on or after July 1, 2007.

In cases of child sexual abuse, the application must be filed within 24 months after the crime was

reported if the crime occurred before July 1, 2007. The application must be filed within 36 months after

the crime was reported if the crime occurred on or after July 1, 2007.
