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.

A person with a psychiatric disability is someone with a mental illness which significantly interferes with that person’s performance of major life activities, such as learning, thinking, communicating, and sleeping, among others. The most common forms of mental illnesses resulting in psychiatric disabilities are anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and schizophrenia. Anxiety disorders are the most common group of mental illnesses and include panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder characterized by severe fear or anxiety associated with particular objects and situations. Depressive Disorders would include major depression, manic-depressive illness and seasonal affective disorder characterized by disturbances or changes in moods. Schizophrenia is a highly complex illness characterized by thoughts that seem fragmented and difficulty processing information.
Depending on the needs of the individual and the nature of the disability, accommodation may include: scheduling court proceedings at certain time to coincide with medication requirements or effects; presenting information in a different manner to be better processed by the individual such as providing instructions in a written or recorded format; changing procedures as they relate to the interaction with witnesses and court staff in the courtroom; eliminating distractions; speaking slowly and distinctly; or allowing videotaped testimony or the use of video conferencing technology in lieu of a personal appearance.
