ACWDL 09-54: Payments from victims of violent crimes program (11/16/09)

Victims Compensation payments made by any state are to be considered exempt income in the month of receipt and exempt property for nine months following the month of receipt. Applicants or beneficiaries who report the receipt of a Victims’ Compensation Program shall be required to provide verification sufficient to document the source of the payment. If anyone was adversely affected by receiving a victims compensation payment from another state, counties must rescind the incorrect decision and retroactively redetermine the eligibility or SOC.
