​Important Announcement for Reimbursement Claimants

Please be advised that the Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Program is currently experiencing a large volume of claims and claims processing is taking longer than usual. Be assured that submitted claims will be processed in the order that they were received. For those claimants seeking information about their claims, the reparations staff is working hard to respond to your messages and will respond as quickly as they possibly can. Thank you for your patience in this process. ​
