Understanding Your Victims of Crime Benefits

The Nevada Victims of Crime program will reimburse you for expenses you have paid for counseling services after your insurance company pays its part related to the 1 October event. This can include co-pays. We recommend you talk to your insurance company to find out which participating providers are listed and trained as trauma therapists in your local community. For more information about expenses covered by the program, visit its website at voc.nv.gov/VOC/Covered_Expenses.

If you do not have insurance, your benefits have been exhausted, or there are other extenuating circumstances, please contact the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center. Our staff will work to connect you with a therapist in your community who is able to support you at no cost.

The Las Vegas Victims Fund is a Nevada non-profit corporation created to oversee the consolidation and distribution of donated funds for the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting. The Las Vegas Victims Fund was overseen by a board of directors, which appointed a committee consisting of various individuals from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, major donors to the fund, Catholic Charities, victims’ advocates, mental health professionals, lawyers, physicians, and others. This committee established protocols and guidelines to disburse collected funds to the victims and families of 1 October. Administrative services were provided through the National Compassion Fund, which previously administered funds for victims of mass casualty crimes in Texas, Tennessee, Colorado, and Florida. Disbursements from this fund have been completed.
