The Washington Crime Victims Compensation Program Initial Response and Assessment: Form I is the first step for victims of crime in the state of Washington to apply for financial assistance. This form is used to collect information from victims of crime, such as the date of the incident, type of crime, and any losses or expenses incurred due to the crime, in order to determine whether they are eligible for compensation. There are two types of Washington Crime Victims Compensation Program Initial Response and Assessment: Form I: one for victims of violent crimes and one for victims of property crimes. Both forms require the victim to provide information about themselves and the crime, including details about the perpetrator if known. The form also asks questions about any existing insurance or other assistance that the victim may have received, as well as any other financial resources that may be available to cover losses or expenses. After the form is completed, it is submitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce for review and further action.
