HRS §351-61
How the commission can set payment terms
This section lets the commission decide how to pay compensation to crime victims. It can split payments, hold money in trust, pay in one sum or over time, or pay providers directly. Every order must tell the claimant that payment depends on the legislature approving funds.
The statute, as written — Terms of order
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any order for the payment of compensation under this chapter may be made on such terms as the commission deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the order may provide for apportionment of the compensation, for the holding of the compensation or any part thereof in trust, for the payment of the compensation in a lump sum or periodic installments, and for the payment of compensation for hospital, medical, funeral, or burial expenses directly to the person who has provided such services. All such orders shall contain words clearly informing the claimant that all awards and orders for payments under this chapter are subject to the making of an appropriation by the legislature to pay the claim, except as otherwise provided in section 351-62.5.
