Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Program
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a violent crime, the Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Program may be able to help. The reimbursement program provides financial help to victims and their families for losses incurred as a result of the crime.
History
The Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Board, formerly called the Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Board, is a state program that was established by the Legislature in 1974 to help victims with their financial losses and aid in their recovery from a violent crime.
