Welcome. Are you inquiring about a case in Virginia?
You are in the right place then. What is your name? (type your name and press enter)
Hello name GOTO:2

Are you (or the adult of the juvenile) a current recipient of a state or federally administered public assistance program such as
AFDC, Food Stamps, Medicaid, and Supplemental Security Income?

the defendant) unless those people are victims of the defendant) (type the value and press enter)
How much do you make a year? (This will include everyone who is in your household as indicated previously) (type the value and press enter)
Please consult your latest tax forms and return when you have the relevant information.

Enter your own income and enter 1 for household
GOTO:2.1.1.1.2

Are you an adult or juvenile (under 18 years of age)?

GOTO:7

GOTO:2.2.1
GOTO:8
You probably are eligible for a fee waiver
