The Crime Victim Compensation Board meets monthly to review completed applications. Upon review of the completed application and law enforcement report, the board determines if the victim meets all eligibility requirements. Awards and denials of covered expenses are made during this meeting, and you will be notified of the board decision by mail within 10 business days following the meeting. Please be aware that typical claim processing time is between 30 and 60 days.
If your request is approved, specific documentation is required before any payment can be made. Upon receipt of all required documentation, payment will be made to you and/or the service provider.
If your request is denied, you have the right to request a reconsideration of the board’s decision within 30 days of being notified.
The Crime Victim Compensation Board meets the second Tuesday of every month at 9:30 am at the District Attorney's Office located at 201 Laporte Ave., Suite 200, Fort Collins, CO 80521, unless otherwise noted.
Anyone attending CVC Board meetings is required to comply with security screening procedures as directed upon entering the District Attorney’s Office and will need to provide their full name to be included in the minutes of the meeting.
