Claims are paid weekly.
Claims are due to Fiscal Thursdays, no later
than the 10:00 AM mail run in order to receive a
check as early as the following Thursday.
Advances should be submitted 3 weeks before
the scheduled event to ensure sufficient
processing time.

chart – if your destination is not on the chart, print out
the mileage from an online mapping site and attach it

Mileage that is LESS than what is listed on the
approved mileage chart can be claimed, but MORE

16. Affidavit of Lost Warrant
Used when a client has lost their warrant
or didn’t receive their warrant.
First you will need to verify that the client
was issued a warrant. If they did, you
will need to contact Fiscal so that we
can verify that the warrant has not been
cashed. Please provide: client name,
case number, date issued, dollar
amount, and warrant number.
17. Affidavit of Lost Warrant
Once Fiscal has verified that the warrant
has been cashed we will contact you, so
that you can proceed with the “Affidavit
of Lost Warrant”.
Contact the client and let them know
that you have verified the need to
replace their warrant and that they will
need to complete an “Affidavit of Lost
Warrant”.
18. Affidavit of Lost Warrant
The “Affidavit of Lost Warrant can be
mailed to them or they may come and
pick it up. Before they receive the form,
you will need to put the warrant number,
date it was issued, and the dollar
amount on the form. The client will need
to complete the rest of the form and mail
it to the address on the form. If needed,
they may return it to you and we can
deliver it to the auditor’s office.

20. Auditor Pick Up Slip (Pink Slip)
When a client is issued a warrant and wishes
to pick it up instead of having it mailed, you
will need to complete an Auditor Pick Up Slip,
or what we call a “Pink Slip”.
The auditor’s will not release the check to us
without it. Please contact fiscal when this is
needed. The auditors will call us when the
warrant is ready for pick up. Client will be able
to pick up the warrant after 4:00 p.m.. Staff at
the front desk will call fiscal when client arrives
and we will give them their warrant.
