Rule B. Payment of Claims
The following procedures are to be used in the processing of Lengthy Trial Fund Claims. The Administrator may add such additional procedures as he deems necessary.
1. Claims from the Lengthy Trial Fund are to be paid as authorized by the Administrative Director of the Courts. All claims shall include an order from the trial judge setting the amount of the claim. Said claims are in addition to any juror fees received by a juror from the Court Fund of the County wherein the trial was held.
In addition, for any juror qualifying for extra payment after serving more than ten days, the trial court also may find and order that, for that individual juror, the service as a juror in a trial lasting more than ten days is a significant financial hardship. The court may then award replacement or supplemental wages of not more than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per day for the fourth to the tenth day of jury service.
The Administrator may request any additional information he deems necessary to process a claim. The Administrator shall approve or deny all payments to jurors from this Fund.
6. Payment from the Fund is subject to fees generated. If an individual is authorized to receive monies from the fund, and there are insufficient monies available for payment, the Administrator may hold the payment of the claim for an unlimited term. Claims shall then be paid in the order of the date the claim was approved when monies are available. If a juror requests immediate payment, the Administrator may pay that juror a proportionate share of the amount ordered based on the level of available funds and pending claims against those funds.
