History
The Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Board, formerly called the Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Board, is a state program that was established by the Legislature in 1974 to help victims with their financial losses and aid in their recovery from a violent crime.
Our mission is to reduce the economic impact of violent crime on victims and their families by providing direct financial assistance; and to hold criminal offenders accountable for the costs of crime through improved collection of restitution and civil awards.
The Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Program was renamed the Minnesota Crime Victims Reimbursement Program in 2023.
