I am excited to announce a significant update my office, the Affidavit of Indigency Application is now available online, offering a more efficient and accessible way for customers to apply for indigency status in both traffic and criminal cases. This new tool represents an important step toward simplifying the payment plan process for individuals who may struggle with financial hardship.
Previously, customers who sought to establish indigency and reduce their payment obligations were required to visit our office in person. This often resulted in long wait times and additional stress for those already facing financial challenges. With this new online application, customers can now apply for indigency status directly from the convenience of their home.
Here’s how the process works: when a customer attempts to set up a payment plan but finds the default amount too high, they now have the option to apply for indigency status within the system. The application will automatically assess the customer’s eligibility based on the stored poverty guidelines data. If they qualify, the system will immediately adjust the required down payment and monthly payment amounts, offering relief for those who need it most.
This streamlined approach will not only save time and reduce the need for in-person visits, but it will also make the payment process more accessible for individuals facing financial hardship. By eliminating the requirement to visit the office, customers can focus on resolving their legal matters more efficiently.
This new feature will have a positive impact on our community, making it easier for individuals to manage their obligations while minimizing financial strain. I would like to thank my team at the Technical Services Division (TSD) for their commitment to improving access to justice and providing user-friendly services to meet the needs of all customers.
If you or someone you know is facing a financial burden and may benefit from indigency status, please visit our website to learn more about the online application process. This is one of many steps I am taking to ensure a more equitable and efficient system for all.
