I give permission to any healthcare provider; any medical biller, any funeral director or similar persons, any employer, any police or other government agency, including the Department of Justice,
the Social Security Administration, the State Franchise Tax Board, and the Federal Internal Revenue Service; any insurance company; or any other person or agency, to provide information
relating to this application, including medical (including, but not limited to history or physical records, consultation reports, pathology reports, discharge summaries, operative reports, X ray and
other radiology reports, laboratory reports, chart notes, narrative reports, and billing records), mental health, and felony conviction records, to the California Victim Compensation Program
(CalVCP) or its representatives, for the purpose of determining eligibility for CalVCP benefits. This permission also applies to all sources of recovery for the claimed losses, including but not
limited to, health or medical benefits, unemployment or disability benefits, Social Security benefits (Social Security disability, Supplemental Security income, and/or retirement, including the
supporting medical and/or mental health records), and Veteran benefits. I also give permission for the release of federal and state tax information, including tax returns, for the purpose of verifying
income. I hereby waive all legal privileges to any of this information required by CalVCP regarding my claim.
I agree that a photocopy or fax of this signed form is as valid as the original, and my signature gives permission for the release of all specified information.
I agree that CalVCP or its representatives may pursue restitution from the convicted offender in this matter to recover monies paid to me by CalVCP and that by filing this application I have
authorized use of information in this application and subsequent claim files to pursue restitution from the convicted offender.
In order to verify or process this application, I agree that CalVCP or its representatives may provide information about this application, and the information contained in this application, to any
representative named on this application, government agency, or health care provider or other provider of services, and may pay the provider directly if payment of these services is approved.
I agree that I may revoke this authorization at any time. The revocation must be in writing. The revocation will take effect when CalVCP receives it, but I may be deemed ineligible for CalVCP
benefits once the revocation is received by CalVCP. However, no healthcare provider may condition treatment, payment, enrollment or eligibility for benefits on whether I sign this authorization. I
am entitled to a copy of this authorization except in limited circumstances. I agree that information disclosed under this authorization may be redisclosed by the recipient as required by law and
this redisclosure may no longer be protected by federal or state law.
I agree that the authorizations and agreements herein will expire ten (10) years after the date of my signing this form.
CALIFORNIA VICTIM COMPENSATION PROGRAMSTATE OF CALIFORNIA FORM VCGCB-VCP-005 (Rev. 12/12) [ENG] Page 6 of 6
As required by California law, I will contact and repay the California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) if I, or anyone on my behalf, receives any payments from the offender, a civil lawsuit,
an insurance policy, or any other government or private entity, for losses suffered as a direct result of the crime that was the basis for receipt of benefits from CalVCP, in the amount of the total
benefits granted by CalVCP. I understand I may be responsible for repaying CalVCP any amount for which it is later determined that I was not eligible. I will notify CalVCP if I hire an attorney to
represent me in any action related to this crime or if I pursue any action on my own.
Any monies I receive from CalVCP for moving/relocation expenses, improving home security, or for modifying a home or vehicle for a disabled victim will be used only for those purposes. If I am a
victim of domestic violence receiving moving/relocation expenses, I will not tell the offender my home address nor allow the offender on the premises at any time, or I will seek a restraining order
against the offender.
In the event that I am compensated for any pecuniary loss by CalVCP and the State of California subsequently receives compensation for the same loss on my behalf from the perpetrator
(including any monies received through a restitution order) or from any other source, I hereby assign to the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board any and all rights to such
duplicate compensation.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that all the information I have provided is true, correct and completed to the best of my knowledge and belief. I
understand that I may be found to be ineligible for benefits, and that action may be taken to recover benefits I receive if I provide information that is false, intentionally incomplete, or misleading.
