This important document lists important information such as your contact information that is used for our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that informs debtors who to contact at your site for information regarding debts you are submitting to the Clearinghouse.
This form is required to begin participating and each year after. The form covers the period of September through the following December. The next year's participation form becomes available just prior to the annual training workshops which occur in September. This allows for the submission of debts at the end of a calendar year and continue for the entire next year. Note: if a local government does not submit this form by December 20, their debts will not be sent to the Department of Revenue and Education Lottery until the form is submitted.
For the September 2008 through December 2009 form: 2009 Participation Form
After submitting, if there are any changes to contacts, emails or phone numbers: 2009 Participation Form Changes
