Under Act 141, what information must be provided to victims regarding compensation?

• A. Eligibility and applications of victims compensation
• B. Rights of victims to attend hearings
• C. Police reporting procedures
• D. Court verdicts

Answer: (A)

Act 141 requires agencies to provide victims with information about eligibility for victims’ compensation and how to apply. This directly helps victims know whether they qualify and the steps they need to take to pursue benefits, including where to file and what documents might be needed. Topics like rights to attend hearings, police reporting procedures, or court verdicts relate to other parts of the criminal process and aren’t the information specifically mandated about compensation.
