Applications for reimbursement shall be submitted to the Office of State Courts Administrator by May 1st of the current fiscal year and disbursement shall be made by June 30th of the current fiscal year. If the total dollar amount of the claims in a given year exceeds the amount of money in the fund, the claims shall be reimbursed on a pro rata basis.
