Expert, Investigator and Social Service Provider Payment Vouchers
“Notice of Assignment of Counsel” (NAC) Number Required
In order to reduce the number of vendor bills that are rejected for insufficient
proof of indigency, and to assist CPCS in achieving a more accurate view of case costs,
effective February 1, 2006, all vendor Payment Vouchers (PVs) from experts,
investigators and social service providers must include counsel’s Notice of Assignment
of Counsel (NAC) number for the case in which the services were rendered. In order to
enable vendors to comply with this requirement, counsel must include the associated
NAC number when certifying an expert’s, investigator’s or social service provider’s PV.
For investigator bills please continue using the previously prescribed format. For
all other experts, including social service providers, please use the following format when
certifying a bill:
“I certify that the expert or provider who submitted this
bill has provided services in this case."
Attorney:
NAC #:
Date:
Additionally, all motions should reference the associated NAC number.
If you do not have a NAC number, please provide the docket number and
a brief explanation.
Your assistance in notifying all experts, private investigators and social service
providers whom you utilize of this requirement, and in ensuring that all such vendors are
made aware of associated NAC numbers, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
