Rejected Claims
For claims submitted during the state fiscal year 2011-2012, there were 1,064 applications that the OVS could not process for various reasons. When a claim is rejected there can be more than one reason why the claim could not be processed. The most common reason a claim is rejected is because the claimant failed to provide some or all of the crime reporting information. Applications are also frequently missing the date of birth or social security number of either the claimant or victim or both. All applications must also be signed by the claimant. The claimant must also be at least 18 years of age to file a claim. If a victim is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must file the claim unless he or she can prove they are legally an emancipated minor.
