A person seeking waiver of fees, costs, or security pursuant to W. Va. Code § 59-2-1, shall execute before the clerk where the matter is pending a fee waiver affidavit which shall be kept confidential. An additional fee waiver affidavit shall be filed whenever the financial condition of the person no longer conforms to the financial condition established by the Supreme Court of Appeals for determining inability to pay fees or whenever an order has been entered directing the filing of a new affidavit. The fee waiver affidavit shall be reviewed pursuant to W. Va. Code § 59-2-1(d) by the presiding court to determine whether the person seeking the waiver qualifies as established by the West Virginia Supreme Court. If the court determines that the person does not qualify, the court shall assess the costs and fees in Rule 4 of these rules.
