How to check this page

  1. Every rule quotes a saved copy of an official page, word for word. The SHA-256 under each source is the fingerprint of that saved copy, so anyone can confirm the text has not changed.
  2. A checker keeps a rule only if its quote matches the saved text and every number in the rule appears in the quote.
  3. A normalizer turns the rules into the law IR. Rules about someone other than the survivor, or with nothing to compute, are set aside with a reason.
  4. The compiler turns the IR into bytecode. The listing below is that bytecode, with each block commented with the rule it came from. The same image runs on the server and in the browser.
What Tend could not find or verify
  • expense cap:security
  • covered expense:security
  • excluded expense:phones (no explicit statement; only general property exclusion)

No source found that covers home security costs (locks, alarms, cameras); treat security as not covered unless the program confirms. Phones are not named anywhere; the general property loss/damage exclusion applies. The statute's emergency award limit is 'a rate set by the Office of Victims' Services'; the $5,000 figure comes from 37 Pa. Code 411.17 and matches the 2025 manual. Relocation lodging is $75 per day (PA-RELOC-4); relocation vehicle rental is $30 per day (37 Pa. Code 411.42(f)), not encoded separately. Travel caps (car rental $30/day, meals $28/day for trips of 50+ miles) are taken from the 2025 manual because the matching list in 37 Pa. Code 411.42(g) is introduced by a clause about death and funeral travel and reads ambiguously. Filing: the claim form (July 2024, the version linked from the PA.gov apply page) lists the mailing address, email, and the DAVE online portal; the PA.gov page also lists the Crime Victims App for online filing. The form's fax number (717-787-4306) is listed only as contact info and the manual mentions fax only for advocates sending supplemental bills, so no fax submission rule was added. No in-person filing method is stated.

Set aside

These rules are verified and quoted above, but the engine does not use them in the math. Each one says why.

  • 18 P.S. 11.707(b)(4.1)(i)PA-COUNSEL-1

    Counseling for an adult direct victim is capped at $5,000, and a minor direct victim at $10,000; counseling is paid on top of the total award cap.

    Why: a more generous limit for the same cost, PA-COUNSEL-2, is used instead. This one is kept beside it.

    Normalizer note: less generous duplicate of PA-COUNSEL-2

  • 18 P.S. 11.701.1(c)PA-COUNSEL-5

    Sexual assault counseling claims are capped at $5,000 if the survivor was 18 or older at the time of the abuse, and $10,000 if under 18.

    Why: a more generous limit for the same cost, PA-COUNSEL-2, is used instead. This one is kept beside it.

    Normalizer note: less generous duplicate of PA-COUNSEL-2

  • VCAP Manual 2025, Transportation (p. 89)PA-TRANS-3

    Meals are reimbursed up to $28 per day ($6 breakfast, $6 lunch, $16 dinner), but only when travel to a provider is 50 miles or more one way.

    Why: a more generous limit for the same cost, PA-TRANS-2, is used instead. This one is kept beside it.

Researcher notes

Act 77 of 2022 changes (5-year filing deadline, 'promptly' reporting instead of 72 hours, $50 minimum loss, 701.1 counseling claims, conduct not considered for counseling) apply to crimes on or after 9/8/2022; for older crimes the program says to contact it (2-year deadline and 72-hour reporting applied before). 37 Pa. Code Chapter 411 was last amended in 2009 and still references some pre-2022 limits (for example a 1-year FRE provider deadline that is consistent with the 2024 FRE protocol); where regulations and statute differ the statute controls. The PA.gov page says 'The crime must have occurred in Pennsylvania', while the statute's definitions (18 P.S. 11.103) also cover Pennsylvania residents harmed outside the state when the other location's program is ineligible under VOCA; the manual narrows this to foreign countries without a program and international terrorism. Insurance: providers must bill the survivor's insurance first for the exam unless the survivor (or person responsible) asks that insurance not be billed (18 P.S. 11.707(h)(1); FRE protocol B.2), so insurance_billing is recorded as 'allowed' with a survivor opt-out. The PA.gov transportation flyer says 'A maximum payment of $35,000 per direct victim can be reimbursed for transportation expenses'; that is just the overall cap and is not encoded. The English VCAP brochure PDF is image-only and was not saved. Counseling for a minor whose insurance is held by the alleged perpetrator or a non-supportive caretaker may be paid without billing that insurance (18 P.S. 11.707(b)(4.1)(i)). Reviewer: the PA.gov page says the claim must be filed 'within 5 years of the crime'; the statute (18 P.S. 11.702(b)(1)) runs it from discovery, which the rule follows. The 37 Pa. Code 411.42(d) health-item limit says 'each' device and 'will not exceed $1,000'; encoded per claim, but it may be read per item. FRE FAQ: if the survivor declines evidence collection the hospital may bill the survivor's insurance (Q14), and medications without an exam are not paid on the FRE claim (Q11); both can go on a standard claim. Application form: PA-S6 (VCAP long claim form, July 2024) is a flat PDF with no AcroForm fields (0 fields), so it is not fillable; a short claim form and a separate FRE claim form also exist but were not saved. The 2025 manual cover gives the PO Box ZIP as 17110-1167, while the claim form and the manual's own sample letters use 17108-1167; the submission rule follows the claim form. The applicant does not need to attach a police report: the claim process flyer says VCAP obtains the police report itself and sends verification forms to providers and employers; the form asks for the police department and incident number. The 12-week figure is from the PA.gov FAQ ('Most organizations process claims in 12 weeks or less'), not the statute. Payments to providers are released 2 to 4 weeks after approval (PA-S13). Address confidentiality: the OVA ACP page (PA-S14) lists sexual assault victims as eligible and says enrollment is online, through a local victim service program, or by calling OVA; the statute (23 Pa.C.S. 6703(a)) says eligible persons 'shall receive a confidential substitute address provided by the Office of Victim Advocate'. The statute's definition of 'victim of sexual assault' (23 Pa.C.S. 6702) lists specific offenses (18 Pa.C.S. 3121 rape, 3133, 4302, 6312, 6318, 6320) and 6704(2) requires an affidavit that the applicant fears future violent acts by the perpetrator, so eligibility under the statute is narrower than the agency page wording; OVA decides. ACP records, including applications and actual addresses, are confidential and exempt from the Right-to-Know Law (23 Pa.C.S. 6703(d)). Participants renew every 3 years per the OVA page. Record confidentiality: 18 P.S. 11.709(b) bars disclosure without the written consent of the direct victim or intervenor, except as otherwise provided by law; 11.709(c) still allows use in OVS appeal hearings, in enforcing section 1303, and in talking with the prosecutor about restitution. The Act 77 flyer (PA-S7) restates this.
