New this year: you can view all your previously filed estatements.
New this year: if you filed electronically last year, you can copy information from that statement into your current electronic statement.
Electronic filing allows most Unified Court
System employees who are required to file annual financial
disclosure statements to do so online, using CourtNet or the
Internet. When you are ready to work on your statement, click
on the File Online (Financial Disclosure Form) option, found
in the menu on the left. You will be asked to provide your
Account Name and Password. Your Account Name is your UCS Retirement
Number. A new Password will be given to you each year that
you file. Your Account Name and Password are mailed to you
in one letter each year, before the filing deadline.
The first time you log in, there will be a series of steps
you must follow to enter your Account Number and change the
initial Password to a Password known only to you. This ensures
the security and confidentiality of your financial disclosure
statement. Please keep your new Password in a secure location.
Once you have completed the initial login process, your financial
disclosure form will appear on the screen. In subsequent logins,
you will have to enter your Account Name and new Password
only once.
You may work on your statement over as many sessions as you wish, and from different locations. You can exit the statement, and save the information you have entered, whenever you wish. As a security measure, your data is not saved on your computer. The data is encrypted and transmitted to our secure server where it remains encrypted until the next time you log in and use your form.
When you complete your statement, you must enter your Signature
Key before the statement can be filed. The Signature Key is
mailed to you in a separate letter, at the same time the Password
letter is mailed. Once you have entered your Signature Key,
click on the “Verify and File” button. Your statement
is checked for completeness. If you failed to answer a question,
or if you did not complete all required fields in a question,
the system will not accept your statement. You will be given
a “Validation Report” that will indicate all you
need to do to properly complete your statement. If all questions
have been completely answered, your statement will be accepted.
You will be given a “Validation Report” that confirms
that your statement has been filed. At this time your data
is locked so that you can not make any changes in your statement,
although you can continue to view and to print it.
You can print out a copy of your financial disclosure statement at any time by emailing a "PDF" copy of the statement to yourself. To do so, click on the following language: "To get an emailed statement in PDF format, click here". This language can be found: on the bottom of the last page of the statement, before it is filed; on the right side of the Validation Report; and on the top left corner of the first page of the statement, after it has been filed.
The electronic filing system can only be used to file statements
due in the current calendar year, so each year we will close
down access to estatements on December 31. Access will be restored in February of the next year,
at which time you will receive a new Password and Signature
Key if you are required to file in that year. Your receipt of the letters containing your new Password and Signature Key is the notice that access to estatements has been restored. Please note that you can view and print instructional information about electronic filing at any time of the year.
