(a) A victim or claimant may receive a lump sum payment
for pecuniary loss based on an amount equal to the pecuniary loss
accrued to the date of the award for installment payments.
(b) A victim or claimant may receive a lump sum payment
for future loss of earnings or loss of support. The victim or claimant
must request a lump sum payment for future loss of earnings or support
in writing to the OAG and must submit documentation that a lump sum
payment will promote the best interest of the victim or claimant.
If the OAG determines that there is good cause to make a lump sum
payment, the lump sum payments based on future loss of earnings or
future loss of support may not exceed a total of $1,000. After a lump
sum payment for future earnings or support is paid, all other loss
of earnings or loss of support expenses incurred shall be paid in
installments as the loss is incurred.
