A. If compensation is awarded, the state shall be subrogated to all the rights of a claimant to receive or recover from a collateral source to the extent that compensation was awarded.
B. In the event the claimant recovers compensation, other than under the provisions of this act, for injuries or death resulting from criminally injurious conduct, the claimant shall retain, as trustee, so much of the recovered funds as necessary to reimburse the Victims Compensation Revolving Fund to the extent that compensation was awarded to the claimant from that Fund. The funds retained in trust shall be promptly deposited in the Victims Compensation Revolving Fund.
C. If a claimant brings an action to recover damages related to the criminally injurious conduct upon which compensation is claimed or awarded, the claimant shall give the Board written notice of the action. After receiving the notice, the Board may join in the action as a party plaintiff to recover the compensation awarded.
