Filing Fees and Waivers
If a person informs the court that Social Security or Supplemental Income is their sole financial resource, payment is deferred and the account will not go to collections while that income remains unchanged, but court-ordered restitution remains due.
If you alert this court your sole financial resource is a Social Security benefit or Supplemental Income, you will not be required to pay until you have another resource or income. As long as your sole income remains unchanged, your account will not go to collections. Restitution that you have been ordered to pay, is not included in this exemption and is due as the court has ordered.
