The RSMo 595.010(12) definition of 'emergency service' (cash grants up to $100) belongs to victim services, not a CVC emergency award, so it is not recorded. No per-expense cap was found for counseling, medical, transportation, or security; relocation is listed as not payable. Transportation and security costs are not listed as covered or excluded. The program's Q and A PDF (cvc-qa.pdf) returned 404. No official source states a processing time for a decision or payment; the guidelines only give claimants 30 days to answer requests for information. RSMo 595.037 makes CVC claim information open to the public by default; sexual assault claims are closed and confidential only on a department determination, so record confidentiality for survivors is conditional, not automatic."

 "confidence": "high",
 "researcher_notes": "Statute text is from revisor.mo.gov (595.010, 595.015, 595.020, 595.025, 595.030, 595.035 effective 28 Aug 2018; 595.220 effective 28 Aug 2020). Exam billing: RSMo 595.220.6 says eligible forensic exam charges are billed to and paid by DPS and the victim may not be charged; the statute does not mention insurance, while the DPS SAFE page and SAFE fact sheet say health insurance may be billed secondary, so insurance_billing is 'allowed' per the agency. The SAFE fact sheet adds that exams can be anonymous and that medical treatment (STI/HIV prophylaxis, emergency contraception, wound care, etc.) may be billed to the patient and then claimed from CVC. 11 CSR 30-12.010 sets provider reimbursement maximums for SAFE exams (saved as MO-S16) but these are not survivor-facing caps. The guidelines page states lost wages were capped at $200/week for crimes before Aug. 28, 2015 and $400/week after; only the current statutory $400 is recorded. The online application is reached from the CVC page; the PDF form (812-1321, rev. 10-18) is linked as 'CVC Application and Guide'. Toll-free 1-800-347-6881 also appears on the fact sheet and application. Cooperation with law enforcement is required unless good cause (RSMo 595.015.4); an arrest or conviction is not required (RSMo 595.025.3(1)). Reviewer: the brochure says out-of-state crimes must be filed in that state, but RSMo 595.020.5 lets a Missouri resident apply in Missouri when the place of the crime has no program that would cover them; the statute controls. The insurance_billing value 'allowed' rests on the DPS SAFE page and SAFE fact sheet only; RSMo 595.220.6 and 11 CSR 30-12.010 are silent on billing the survivor's insurance (the regulation bars insurance billing only for child physical abuse exams). The brochure and fact sheet also list clothing among costs CVC cannot pay. How to file: the saved application (MO-S6, form 812-1321 rev. 10-18, still the file DPS links as 'CVC Application and Guide', 192 fillable AcroForm fields) prints the old mailing address P.O. Box 749, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0749. Current DPS pages, the 1/2024 brochure, and the compensation checklist (MO-S17) all give P.O. Box 1589, Jefferson City, MO 65102-1589, so the mail rule uses the newer address. The CVC page says victims 'complete an online application', but its 'online application' link points back to the same CVC page and two searches found no separate portal; the online rule's target is that page, where the fillable PDF is posted. The brochure lists email (CVC@dps.mo.gov) and fax ((573) 526-4940) only for requesting an application or contacting the program, not for submitting one, so no email or fax submission rule is recorded. A police report is not something the applicant attaches: the form asks for the report number and agency, and the fact sheet says CVC requests documentation from law enforcement itself. Address confidentiality: RSMo 589.660 to 589.681 create the Secretary of State's Address Confidentiality Program (the Secretary's office brands it Safe at Home, but its page at sos.mo.gov/safeathome was blocked and could not be saved, so the statutory name is used). Eligibility expressly includes victims of rape and sexual assault who fear future harm; the application must be signed by a registered application assistant, and certification lasts four years with renewal. Record confidentiality: RSMo 595.037.1 says all information submitted on a CVC claim and any hearing 'shall be open to the public' except listed claims, which include rape, sodomy, or sexual abuse claims when the department determines confidentiality is in the victim's best interest, claims where the victim is a minor, and claims where disclosure would hurt apprehension or trial of an untried assailant; 595.037.2 lets the department close any record or hearing in the interest of justice. Tend should not tell Missouri survivors their claim is confidential by default.",
