Wyo. Stat. § 1-40-106 (2026)

(a) The victim or his dependent is entitled to
compensation under this act if:

          (i) The victim suffered personal injury as a result
of a criminal act;

           (ii)   Repealed by Laws 1989, ch. 233, § 2.

          (iii) The injury to or death of the victim was not
attributable to his own wrongful act;

          (iv) The appropriate law enforcement authorities were
notified of the criminal act allegedly causing the injury to or
death of the victim as soon as practical under the circumstance
after perpetration of the offense and the claimant cooperates
with appropriate law enforcement authorities with respect to the
crime for which compensation is sought;

          (v) The application for compensation is filed with
the division within one (1) year after the date of the injury to
or death of the victim, or within any extension of time the
division allows for good cause shown; and

          (vi) The owner of real estate has paid all claims for
reimbursement pursuant to W.S. 35-9-158(a)(ii).

     (b) No victim or dependent shall be denied compensation
solely because:

          (i) He is a relative of the offender or was living
with the offender as a family or household member at the time of
the injury or death. However, the division may award
compensation to a victim or dependent who is a relative, family
or household member of the offender only if the division can
reasonably determine the offender will receive no economic
benefit or unjust enrichment from the compensation;

          (ii)    He is not a resident of the state.

     (c) Any person who perpetrates any criminal act on the
person of another or who is convicted of a felony after applying
to the division for compensation is not eligible or entitled to
receive compensation under this act.
