The Victim Compensation Fund periodically posts updates on the awards issued to claimants and beneficiaries. To maintain
the privacy of individual claimants and beneficiaries, the Fund will not list names or any other identifying information
that might easily lead to the identification of individuals who have received or been notified of awards.
Readers should understand that collateral source offsets vary greatly among claimants and can account for substantial
differences in awards for what appear to be similarly situated claimants. Claimants with questions about their particular
situations should contact the helpline at [removed]. Basic information about the award process and award
distribution is set forth in the charts below.
