PROCEDURE FOR VICTIMS SEEKING INTEREST ON RESTITUTION
Orders for restitution are deemed also to order that the defendant owes interest. The statutes do not specifically require the Courts to calculate and track the interest owed or paid. The legislative intent was for victims not to be required to obtain a new court order when the elect to pursue interest on restitution owed. C.R.S 18-1.3 - 603(4)(a)(b)(l)
Victims who wish interest added to restitution must calculate the amount due and provide a copy to the defendant to object, and notify the court.
Jefferson County Courts and Probation will utilize the following procedure for cases in which victims request interest on restitution:
1. Court and Probation employees will not calculate interest on restitution
2. Should a victim request interest, he/she will be supplied with the following forms:
a. Procedures for Victims Seeking Interest on Restitution
b. Calculation of Interest Owed on Restitution Judgment

3. Victim will complete the forms, mailing a notarized copy or a copy signed before a deputy clerk via certified mail (return receipt requested) to the defendant. Victim must return green card to the court showing a received notice.
4. Victim will file the original forms with the Court Bookkeeping Department and the documents will be entered into the Court’s Eclipse Computer system.
5. Court bookkeepers will verify the completeness of the form (name, case number, victim name, amount of restitution and review interest calculation for accurate math, verify a certificate of mailing with attached green card or affidavit of service is included and date stamp the documents.
6. Five business days after the Calculation of Interest is filed, if no objection has been filed by the defendant, the bookkeeper will enter the restitution amount as a VBL
7. If an objection is filed by the defendant, Probation CI (if defendant is supervised) or Court Bookkeeper (if defendant is not supervised) will attempt to resolve the conflict.
8. If unable to do so, CI or Bookkeeper will refer the matter to the sentencing court for resolution.
9. Interest will be added with the code, REST on a separate line, with a VBL comment “interest on restitution added 4/1/04”

Formula for Calculation of Restitution Interest

The following information is to be completed by the Judgment Creditor or their designated representative.
(P)________ Principal Balance/Total Amount Due and Owing or Original Amount of Restitution for first time calculation
(n)________ Number of interest periods, expressed in months (interest periods are the time increments that have passed since interest was last calculated. For example, if calculating interest for three years the number “36” {3 yrs. X 12 mos. = 36} would be the number of interest periods
