RESTITUTION UNIT | VERMONT CENTER FOR CRIME VICTIM SERVICES
Administers the Vermont Restitution Fund which makes payment available to crime victims who suffer financial hardship and have been awarded court-ordered restitution from the offender. The Restitution Unit is able to pay victims their restitution as soon as it has been ordered by the court. The Restitution Unit collects from the offender to reimburse the Fund. The Restitution Unit staff work in a confidential location and provide all services by phone, unless an in-person meeting has been arranged in advance. Restitution must be ordered by the court. There is a $5000.00 maximum restitution payment per crime victim. However, if restitution ordered by the judge is more than that, the Restitution Unit will attempt to collect the full amount.
