Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the following persons shall be eligible for awards pursuant to KRS 49.270 to 49.490:

(a) A victim of criminally injurious conduct;

(b) A surviving family member or personal representative of a victim of criminally injurious conduct who died as a direct result of the conduct;

(c) Any other person dependent for his or her principal support upon a victim of criminally injurious conduct who died as a direct result of the crime;

(d) Any person who is legally responsible for the medical expenses or funeral expenses of a victim; and

(e) Any person acting as the primary caregiver for a victim of criminally injurious conduct.

(2) No victim or dependent shall be denied compensation solely because he or she is a relative of the offender or was living with the offender as a family or household member at the time of the injury or death. However, the Crime Victims Compensation Board may award compensation to a victim or dependent who is a relative, family, or household member of the offender only if the board can reasonably determine the offender will not receive significant economic benefit or unjust enrichment from the compensation.
