Must I continue to respond to the annual billing even though I've been granted one of the exemptions from payment (retired or military)?

Yes. All attorneys are required to file an annual registration, even those who have been granted an exemption from payment.  This keeps the Court informed about your current status and provides attorneys an opportunity to

1. make changes and/or remit payment if they no longer qualify for the exemption,
2. respond to other portions of the registration, and
3. update their mailing or email addresses.

Please access the Online Registration and Payment Center to respond. You have an ongoing duty to immediately inform the Fund if you no longer qualify for the exemption previously granted (such as no longer in military or if you come out of retired status), and to keep your address current with the Fund.  You can access the Online Registration and Payment Center to activate your license or to update your mailing or email address.
