Oh, ok. Well with Crime Victims, you don't have to have any kind of conviction or even concrete proof that a crime happened, and in some cases you don't have to be within the statute of limitations. I did that, and my state covered things for me for 15-20 years. I'll see if I can find out more. Crime Victims gets all the files, like they get all the confidential medical and psychiatric files, the police files, everything. They use it to substantiate a case and to keep the Crime Victims case open. I got the entire file (nothing redacted) from them, and that's how I found out that CPS did two investigations of my parents. I couldn't have gotten that information from CPS if I asked them directly for it because the investigation involved minors who were unrelated to me.
I'll have to see what I can find. I thought that it was for trauma, like survivors of abuse, accidents, family members of people who've been murdered or disappeared, recovered victims of kidnapping, or victims of natural disasters. It might vary from state to state, but I know it goes through the department of Labor and Industries in at least 3 states. Would you like me to see about it? I can't guarantee you'd get it, but I could look into it.
eta: Ok, I went to see California's rules. I know they recently updated the program due to financial constraints, and it looks like for California it now has to be related to a violent crime specifically:
