Who Qualifies for Victim Compensation?
You may be eligible to receive crime victim compensation if:
- You or your family are victims of a violent crime in Colorado, or
- You or your family are residents of Colorado who have been victimized in a state or country that does not have a victim compensation program or will not cover your loss.
To be eligible for victim compensation in Colorado, you must meet certain criteria from the Crime Victim Compensation Statute:
- The victim sustains mental or bodily injury, dies, or suffers property damage to locks, windows, or doors to residential property as a result of the crime.
- The victim cooperates with law enforcement officials.
- The police were notified within 72 hours after the crime occurred.
- The injury or death of the victim was not the result of the victim's own wrongdoing or substantial provocation.
- The victimization occurred on or after July 1, 1982.
- The application for compensation was submitted within one year from the date of the crime or within six months for property damage claims.
The local victim compensation board may waive some of these requirements for good cause or in the interest of justice. This includes application deadlines.
What Losses are Eligible for Victim Compensation?
Losses directly related to the compensable crime are eligible for reimbursement, and may include:
- Medical Expenses
- Mental Health Expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of support to dependents
- Residential Property Damage to Exterior Windows
- Locks and Doors
- Funeral Expenses
How Much Compensation can a Victim Receive?
Victims may be eligible to receive up to $30,000 for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance or other collateral resources, or up to $2,000 in emergency funds directly related to the crime.
Where does the money come from to fund victim compensation?
Funds to pay crime victim compensation claims do not come from taxpayers. These funds are collected from fines from criminals convicted of felony, misdemeanor, and some traffic offenses.

2022 Colorado Crime Victim Compensation Program Report
Nationwide, Colorado continues to rank 6th in the total amount of Crime Victim Compensation (CVC) funds disbursed to help victims though it is the 21st most populous state.

$12,160,981
funds paid by local CVC Programs for tangible financial losses incurred by 6,734 victims of crime. Crime related expenses incurred by domestic violence victims, and their children, consistently account for 27% of all CVC funds paid across the state.

$10,759,830
funds collected for local CVC program expenditures. This is an approximate 29% increase from FFY21.
