CJA 23 — Motion/Financial Affidavit (for all CJA cases) is a document used in Criminal Justice Act (CJA) cases. It is a sworn statement that provides financial information about the defendant in order to determine if he or she is eligible for appointed counsel or other CJA services. The affidavit is completed by the defendant or an individual with knowledge of the defendant's financial resources and submitted to the court. The CJA 23 — Motion/Financial Affidavit has two main parts: The motion and the financial affidavit. The motion is a request to the court to allow the defendant to receive CJA services. The financial affidavit is a detailed financial statement that includes information about the defendant's income, assets, liabilities, and other sources of financial support. There are two types of CJA 23 — Motion/Financial Affidavits: the initial Motion/Financial Affidavit and the updated Motion/Financial Affidavit. The initial Motion/Financial Affidavit is submitted to the court at the beginning of a case. The updated Motion/Financial Affidavit is a subsequent motion that is filed if the defendant's financial information changes during the course of the case. In both types of CJA 23 — Motion/Financial Affidavits, the defendant must provide accurate information and sign the affidavit in order for the court to consider the motion.
