Text

A claim is considered filed when the claimant submits a completed Application for

Crime Victims Compensation (“Application”), to the Program Office. The Application

may be mailed or delivered in person to the Program Office. If a person eligible for

compensation is a minor or legally incompetent, a claim may be filed on such person's

behalf by the person's parent, guardian or personal representative.

COMMENT: The intent of the Rule is to allow guardians ad litem, even if not specified

in the Rule, to file claims on behalf of minors or legal incompetents.
