§ 611A.60 — Reimbursement; How Paid

Plain-Language Summary

Crime victim reimbursement can be paid as a lump sum or in installments, as the board decides. Any emergency payment made earlier is subtracted from the final award. Reimbursement money is protected from creditors, except that providers who treated the victim can collect from the award.

Practical Notes
If you received an emergency advance, it will be deducted from your final payment. Your reimbursement generally cannot be seized by creditors, but doctors, hospitals, and others who provided care because of the crime can be paid directly from the award.
