By what deadline must court activity be reported to OCA?

• A. By the 10th day following the end of the month.
• B. By the 20th day following the end of the month being reported.
• C. By the end of the month following the reporting month.
• D. By the 15th day after the month ends.

Answer: (B)

Know when monthly data must reach OCA by. The standard deadline for reporting court activity is the 20th day after the month being reported. This timing strikes a balance: it allows time to gather and verify all activity from the month, while still keeping the data timely for oversight and record-keeping.

The other options would either compress the window too much, risking missing late entries, or push the report too far into the future, which delays oversight. For example, reporting by the 20th day after the month ends means if the month ends on January 31, the deadline is February 20.
