List the various eligibility requirements for receiving compensation

What will be an ideal response?


Not all victims of every crime are eligible for state compensation. In general, the majority of states limit the compensation to victims who suffered injuries as a result of the criminal conduct of another and to survivors of homicides. In addition, there is a wide disparity between eligibility requirements in these programs with some states mandating that the victim suffer some sort of physical injury and others allowing for physical or mental injuries. Most states allow the parents of deceased victims to collect compensation.
