(1)

An applicant for compensation under ORS 147.005 (Definitions) to 147.367 (Services to victims of acts of mass destruction) must file an application under oath on a form furnished by the Department of Justice. The application shall include:

(a)

The name and address of the victim;

(b)

If the victim is deceased, the name and address of the applicant and relationship to the victim, the names and addresses of the victim’s dependents and the extent to which each is so dependent;

(c)

The date and nature of the crime or attempted crime on which the application for compensation is based;

(d)

The date and place where, and the law enforcement officials to whom, notification of the crime was given;

(e)

The nature and extent of the injuries sustained by the victim, the names and addresses of those giving medical and hospital treatment to the victim and whether death resulted;

(f)

The loss to the applicant and to such other persons as are specified under paragraph (b) of this subsection, resulting from the injury or death;

(g)

The amount of benefits, payments or awards, if any, payable from any source, which the applicant or other person, listed under paragraph (b) of this subsection, has received or for which the applicant or other person is eligible as a result of the injury or death;

(h)

Releases authorizing the surrender to the department of reports, documents and other information relating to the matters specified under this subsection; and

(i)

Such other information as the department determines is necessary.

(2)

The department may require that the applicants submit with the application materials substantiating the facts stated in the application.

(3)

If the department finds that an application does not contain the required information or that the facts stated therein have not been substantiated, it shall notify the applicant in writing of the specific additional items of information or materials required and that the applicant has 30 days from the date of mailing in which to furnish those items to the department. Unless an applicant requests and is granted an extension of time by the department, the department shall reject with prejudice the claim of the applicant for failure to file the additional information or materials within the specified time.

(4)

An applicant may file an amended application or additional substantiating materials to correct inadvertent errors or omissions at any time before the department has completed its consideration of the original application.

(5)

The filing of additional information or the amendment of the application pursuant to subsection (3) or (4) of this section shall be considered for the purposes of ORS 147.005 (Definitions) to 147.367 (Services to victims of acts of mass destruction) to have been filed at the same time as the original application.

(6)

Unless the department finds good cause exists for the applicant’s failure to satisfy a financial obligation or unless the interest of justice requires otherwise, the department shall not process an application filed by or on behalf of a victim who owes a financial obligation ordered or imposed as a result of a previous criminal conviction until the department receives information or materials establishing to the satisfaction of the department that the financial obligation has been satisfied. If the department does not receive the information or materials within one year after the department notifies the applicant of the need to fulfill this requirement, the application is void.

(7)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

If at the time of application, the applicant is incarcerated as a result of a conviction of a crime, the application shall be refused and returned to the applicant. The applicant is eligible to refile the application within six months after the applicant is released from incarceration.

At the time the application is refused and returned, the department shall notify the applicant of the right to refile the claim within six months of release from incarceration. [1977 c.376 §8; 1991 c.603 §1; 1991 c.862 §5; 1993 c.18 §24; 2012 c.81 §9]
