    Receive Child Support Payments Electronically

    Florida law requires us to send support payments electronically. Usually support payments will be put on your debit card or direct deposited in your checking or savings account two days after applying the payment to your case.

    Choose Direct Deposit or Debit Card

    You can choose how to get your child support payments.

    • Print the Child Support Payment Options form: (English) (Spanish)
    • Fill in the form, sign and date it
    • Mail it to the address listed on the form

    If you do not make a choice, we will send you a debit card. We no longer send paper checks.

    Direct Deposit - Payments are automatically put into your checking or saving account – a Social Security number is required.

    Florida Debit MasterCard® Fee Changes - Florida Debit MasterCards® are good for three years. New cards are mailed approximately 30 days before the "Good Thru" date on the front of your card.

    Cards cannot be forwarded. If your mailing address has changed since your card was issued, call the Customer Service hotline (1-877-567-1768) to update your address.

    You can use the card to make purchases at most stores and get "cash-back" with your purchase at many merchant locations. Depending on how and where you use your card, there may be fees associated with certain transactions.

    Some ways to use your card and avoid fees:

    • Ask for "cash-back" with your purchases
    • Use ATMs that do not include an additional charge over the $0.95 withdrawal fee
    • Use the www.EPPICard.com website to get account information
