Direct Deposit FAQs

The Court Appointed Counsel (CAC) Direct Deposit Compensation Program allows attorneys representing indigent defendants in the Courts of Appeal to have their compensation claim payments directly deposited into their checking or savings account at a financial institution. This program offers several advantages, such as fewer trips to the financial institution, avoiding long lines on payday, and less risk of error due to a lost warrant or misdirected deposit. To enroll in the program, you must complete the Direct Deposit Enrollment Authorization Form and submit it to the JCC Accounting Office. After submitting the form, your account will be ready for direct deposit within 15 to 30 days. Payments are transmitted to the SCO every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and should be available to you at the beginning of the sixth business day after the JCC’s transmission. If you close your account without notifying the JCC Accounting Office, the funds will be returned and payment will not be made until the funds are returned to the JCC Accounting Office.
