COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEYS
CLERK’S OFFICE, U.S. DISTRICT COURT
In order to be compensated for your services in a timely manner, please follow the directions
attached to the front of the vouchers, and use the hourly worksheets provided. You are
responsible for filling in items 16A thru D, (where applicable), and 17 thru 21. The hours and
dates must be filled in on items 17 and 18.
Item 16A-D: Social Security Number/Employer Identification Number
Each appointed attorney must supply his or her social security number. If the attorney has an
agreement, in effect prior to the representation provided pursuant to the CJA, with his or her law
firm or corporation, that CJA earnings belong to the law firm or corporation rather than to the
attorney/payee (“preexisting agreement”); then the attorney must also supply the firms employer
identification number.
As required by the CJA, payment will be made to the appointed attorney. The appointed attorney
is required to furnish his or her social security number and if applicable the law firm’s employer
identification number so that the Administrative Office may file information returns with the
Internal Revenue Service in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 6041. The authority for disclosure of the
social security number and employer identification number is 26 U.S.C. 6109(a)(2) and 26 CFR
301.6109-1(c).
Item 16A:
If you have a preexisting agreement with a corporation, including a professional corporation,
check the box “Yes”, leave Items 16B-D blank, and proceed directly to Item 17. If you do not
have such a preexisting agreement with a corporation, check the box “No” and enter your social
security number and your law firm’s employer identification number (if applicable) pursuant to
the instructions below.
Item 16B:
Enter your social security number.
Item 16C:
Enter the law firm’s employer identification number if you have a preexisting agreement with a
law firm (but not a corporation, including a professional corporation) that CJA earnings belong
to the law firm.
Item 16D:
If the employer identification number has been provided in Item 16C, enter the name and mailing
address of the law firm.
