The CJA Taxpayer Identification Form (Form CJA 23) is a form used by the federal judiciary to identify individuals who will be receiving payments from the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) fund. It is used to verify the identity and taxpayer information of the individual receiving payments from the CJA fund. The form is typically completed by attorneys representing CJA-eligible clients. There are two types of CJA Taxpayer Identification Forms: Form CJA 23A for individuals and Form CJA 23B for businesses. Form CJA 23A is used to collect the individual's name, Social Security Number (SSN), and address, while Form CJA 23B is used to collect the business's name, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and address. Both forms must be completed and returned to the Court before payment can be released.
