Victims may choose to take on the responsibility of collecting restitution on their own. Nothing in this process requires filing a new or separate civil case in the State of Colorado.

Victims who chooses to pursue collection on their own must first file notice with the sentencing court by submitting form JDF 229.

Once the notice has been filed, the following efforts by the court to collect restitution stop:

• collections staff will not actively pursue,
• intercepted funds will not apply, and
• interest will no longer be calculated by the court.

The victim will become responsible for:

• calculating interest,
• identifying the offender’s income and assets,
• issuing garnishments and liens through the court and notifying the court of any direct payments by submitting form JDF 242.

Victims may decide to withdraw from pursuing collections on their own by filing form JDF 230 with the court. Form JDF 242 must accompanying that notice, detailing the payment dates and amounts of restitution the victim collected.

For more information and to access JDF forms, please visit www.coloradojudicial.gov. Collections Investigators and the Office of Restitution Services are available to answer questions.

For further collection remedies that the victim may pursue, please refer to Section 16-18.5-107, C.R.S. 

All applications submitted in response to the Career Opportunities are reviewed to identify the applicants who meet the minimum qualifications for the job. Applicants who do not meet the minimum qualifications are usually notified by mail.

During the application review process, applicants meeting the minimum qualifications are screened based on relevance of education and experience.

Applications are ‘scored’ based on a criterion of the fundamental elements of the position.

Application and resume screening is a method for separating unqualified, marginally qualified, and prospectively qualified applicants solely on the basis of the applicant's "paper credentials." This paper screening is an attempt to determine which applicants appear on paper to be the most qualified, appear to have the most suitable work experience or related background, and appear in all other respects to be right for further consideration.

Depending on the urgency to fill the position, interviews will be scheduled soon after the screening process.
