This fund provides up to $10,000 towards counseling services for persons who have experienced sexual abuse in the state of Pennsylvania. The funds will be paid directly to the provider of your choice. Unlike standard Victim’s Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) claims, sexual assault victims seeking counseling services related to their abuse under this new claim process are not required to have reported the assault to police or other authorities to be eligible to receive these counseling benefits.

The fund is the result of House Bill 962, 42 Pa.C.S. §9730.3 as signed into law by Governor Wolf on November 26, 2019.cription goes here
