Filing Fees and Waivers
Payment is deferred and the account will not be sent to collections while Social Security or Supplemental Security Income remains the person's sole income; court-ordered restitution remains due.
12. If your sole financial resource is a Social Security benefit or Supplemental Security Income, then you are not 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. Please understand that any restitution that you may have been ordered to pay is not included in this exemption of payment and is due as the Court has ordered.
