Criminal Injuries Compensation Program

The Tennessee Department of Treasury is participating in National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 19th thru 25th, to raise awareness of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Program, a resource to financially assist victims of crime.

The program provides funds of last resort to victims who have suffered personal injuries related to a crime, such as medical bills, lost wages, loss of support to financial dependents, mental health counseling, and more.
 
The theme for the 2026 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, “Listen. Act. Advocate. Protect Victims, Serve Communities,” calls on individuals and organizations to listen to the experience of crime victims, take action to address their needs, and advocate for their rights. It stresses the importance of ensuring protection for survivors while simultaneously serving our community by nurturing a broader culture of justice, support, and inclusion.
