Direct deposit is a method of electronic funds transfer. You authorize Child Support to deposit your support payments directly into your checking or savings account. Child support payments, spousal support payments, and dollar specific medical support payments can be deposited into your bank account. When Child Support receives a support payment, the payment is processed and sent to your bank account. In most instances, the funds will be in your account in 2 business days.
To have your support payments directly deposited into your checking or savings account:
- Login to your case information, go to Payment Options, and select Direct Deposit.
- Complete the Direct Deposit Enrollment and Authorization form, attach the required document, and provide the form and document to Child Support.
Child Support will send a confirmation letter to you after your enrollment form is processed.
