Presently, most Clerk's Offices have multiple disbursements to single entities every disbursement cycle. In large counties this presents a more significant problem, with many disbursements to large law firms, insurance companies and banks. However, all Clerk's Offices make frequent disbursements to such entities as the Crime Victims' Compensation program, and other state agencies. Clerks are faced with the choice of either printing multiple checks for such entities, or manually consolidating these payments. If these payments could be automatically consolidated in the event of an exact match with the payee information, this would create significant time savings for Clerks. Clerks would still have the ability to avoid the automatic consolidation feature if they choose by creating a slight variation in the payee name or address. |
