## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Victims of Crime Support & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/practice/victims-of-crime-support-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Add each bill and wage record the lawyer marks into a schedule with the date, the provider or employer, and the amount on the document. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check every amount against the bill or the wage record. A federally eligible program under 34 U.S.C. § 20102(b) covers medical expenses attributable to a physical injury, including mental-health counselling and care, loss of wages attributable to a physical injury, and funeral expenses attributable to a death. The state program can be narrower or can add categories, and it sets the cap. Do not carry a figure into the application until you have read the program’s schedule. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Add each bill and wage record the lawyer marks into a schedule with the date, the provider or employer, and the amount on the document.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Wage loss in § 20102(b)(1)(B) is tied to a physical injury. Do not assume every loss of income qualifies.
- Property damage is treated differently in the federal grant formula. Do not assume the state pays it.
