Pursuant to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3525, the Victims Compensation Fund has been established to compensate victims of certain crimes committed by participants in the Witness Security Program. In general, the fund will, up to a statutory limit, cover expenses for medical and/or funeral costs and lost wages that are not reimbursable from any other source. Contact OEO’s Special Operations Unit if information about the fund and the payment of claims is needed.
