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. #WEWORKASONE
