/PRNewswire/ PCF Insurance Services (PCF), a top 20 U.S. insurance brokerage firm, announced today its acquisition of Voluntary Benefits at Work (VB@Work)..
The California Senate’s Committee on Public Safety this week unanimously passed SB 299. Authored by Senator Connie Leyva (SD-20), which would extend services to victims of police violence and expand eligibility for survivors of homicide victims.
“It is unacceptable that in order to receive assistance through the Victim Compensation program, police reports and the opinion of police would carry such heavy weight in the application for compensation when the injuries were sustained as a result of police actions,” Senator Leyva said.
“SB 299 will improve access to vital resources for victims of police violence as they recover from the physical and emotional injuries caused due to the actions of police or in the cases of individuals killed by police be able to bury their loved ones with dignity and respect,” he said.
