ensuring that victims of federal crime are treated fairly as their case moves

The Fund was established by the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) of 1984. The Fund is
financed by fines and penalties paid by convicted federal offenders, not from
tax dollars.

cases, you will receive letters/emails generated through VNS containing
information about the events pertaining to your case and/or any defendants in

with a large number of victims, you may receive only one letter and then be

VNS Notification Methods
VNS LETTER/EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
The first notification generated by VNS will be sent by letter (if VNS has a

you "verify" an email address VNS will likely send future notifications only by
email. If you have a verified email address, periodically VNS will send you an
email requesting you to re-verify this information.
The verified email notices contain the same information as letter notifications
provided by VNS. Verification of your email address allows VNS to rely on this
method of notification and will eliminate future letter notifications.
If VNS contains your email address and you do not verify that address you will
continue to receive email notices from VNS about your case(s). However, those
unverified email notices will no longer contain the specific details of the
case. To obtain additional information, you will be directed to our email at the
VNS web site: https://www.vns-usdoj-gov.com/EMAILVERIFICATION

contain your VNS VIN and PIN.
