that VWC was informed about developing issues and
trends in the workers’ compensation arena. We
continued to provide transparent communication
through outreach and education for our partners.
VWC staff hosted webinars and training throughout
the state and provided guidance on topics including
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), insurance
compliance, and claims services.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund,
informally branded as the Virginia Victims Fund
(VVF), reviewed and awarded compensation to
innocent victims of crime. VVF staff also provided
training across the Commonwealth and participated
in victim public awareness events.
Moving forward, VWC will continue to evaluate
and respond to the needs of Virginia’s citizens.
Relationships in the workplace, and how we work, are
changing. Technology continues to affect production,
communication, and even the process of resolving
disputes. At VWC, we look forward to meeting these
challenges as we faithfully perform the duties
entrusted by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
