Does CalVCP have the right to be reimbursed if another source pays later on?
According to California law, CalVCP can only reimburse victims for crime-related expenses if there are no other sources of reimbursement. If CalVCP reimburses a victim for losses, but another source of funds becomes available because of the same criminal incident, CalVCP is entitled to be reimbursed. Information on the following page is intended to help CalVCP claimants and attorneys understand the requirements for repaying victim compensation when another source of reimbursement has become available (i.e. workers’ compensation, vehicle insurance or lawsuit settlement, etc.): Responsibility for Repayment of Victim Funds. The state is entitled to recover the amount of assistance granted to a victim out of any recovery by or on behalf of the victim from any third party liable for the victim’s losses. This right is secured by a statutory lien against the recovery (Government Code Section 13963). The state is also entitled to recover the amount of assistance granted out of any form of work
