The Department will issue a letter to the municipality either approving or denying participation in the disbursements from the Municipal Court Collections Payment Program. The participating municipality becomes eligible for disbursements on the effective date of the contract. Disbursements begin the quarter following qualification of participation and are retroactive to the effective date of the contract, as long as the effective date is within the same fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). The municipality must notify the Department in writing upon early termination or discontinuance of the contract. In order to maintain participation in the Municipal Court Collections Payment Program, a valid contract must be provided annually to the Department by the anniversary date indicated in the approval of participation letter.
