Please respond to the following questions
additional 8x11 sheets may be attached if necessary
 
1. DESCRIBE THE IMPACT THAT VOCA FUNDS HAVE HAD ON YOUR PROGRAM'S ABILITY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CRIME
   VICTIMS. 
VOCA funding continues to allow victims in the state of Missouri to receive financial assistance as well as non residents who have suffered as a result of being a victim of violent crime.  Funding allows us to continue to serve residents in the numbers that we do.  We do not deny compensation to any victim because of his/her relationship with the offender, as well as reach all 116 counties in the state of Missouri.
 
2. HOW DO YOU MEASURE YOUR PROGRAM'S EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN REDUCING THE FINANCIAL IMPACT
   OF CRIME ON VICTIMS? WHAT ARE THE RESULTS? 
The Missouri CVC Program continues to measure our effectiveness by the avearge number of days to process a claim.  We have continued to maintain our average number of days at 39.  This is measured from the date the application is received to the date the 1st check is requested.  This time is meassured through an automation process which excluded holidays and weekend.
 
3. DID YOUR STATE USE VOCA ADMINSTRATIVE FUNDS?   No
   IF YOUR STATE USED VOCA ADMINSTRATIVE FUNDS, PLEASE DESCRIBE THE IMPACT THESE FUNDS HAVE HAD ON YOUR
   STATE'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION OR IMPROVE VICTIM SERVICES.
