Receiving a Payment

Michigan Law requires that child support be sent electronically. Child support payments are received through:

  • Direct deposit into a personal checking or savings account; or
  • Direct deposit to a child support debit card.

You will receive a check for your first payment, but will be asked to set up either direct deposit or a debit card. If you do not make a choice, you will automatically be issued a debit card.

Setting Up Electronic Payments

Please fill out a Direct Deposit or Debit Card form to receive your child support electronically.

Debit Card

If you choose a debit card, your child support payments are deposited on a Way2Go Visa debit card. For a Way2Go Visa Debit Card information and associated fees click here to visit their website https://www.goprogram.com/goedcrecipient/#/ or call 844-649-9843 for more information.
