Question:
I am an investigator. I've been asked by an attorney in another district to do some investigation here in my home district.
I understand that I am suppose to bill to CASE / and OOD, but don't know how to bill to the client in another district?
Answer:
Revisions in defenderData allow us to bill to the client for Out-of-District work (OOD). To do so, you'll need the case number from the requesting district.
Ask the requesting district to get you the case number for the case, when they make the request. Below are illustrations of where that number can be found.
If you put that case number in for OOD work, you will bill to that client (without having access to the confidential details of that client's case).
This precision in OOD is very important, because we want OOD work to tie in with the Workload Drivers associated with that case. Anyone requesting help out of district must provide that other office the case number illustrated below, to permit this more-accurate billing.
