your account and mail to:

When will my Direct Deposit start?
Direct Deposit will usually start within 20 days
after we receive your authorization and voided
check or savings withdrawal/deposit forms.
How do I stop Direct Deposit?
You must notify us in writing.
Send a letter at the address listed or you can fax
a letter to 304-558-1503. Please be sure to
include your Social Security number. Should
you stop Direct Deposit, you will then be issued
a Debit Card.
What if I change or close my bank
account?
You must complete a new authorization form
each time you change your banking information.
If you want to close your bank account, you
should rst stop Direct Deposit to avoid delays
in receiving your payment.
Direct Deposit, also known as electronic
funds transfer, authorizes the Bureau for
Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) to
electronically deposit your support
payments directly into your account.
What are my payment options?
Paper checks are no longer issued by the
BCSE. Instead of mailing your support, the
BCSE will load your support amount onto a
VISA Debit Card or you can choose to have
your support deposited directly into your
checking/savings account.
If you choose Direct Deposit instead of the
Debit Card, please complete the form on
the back. If we do not receive your
application for Direct Deposit, you will be
issued a Debit Card.
How does it work?
When a payment is posted to your support
case, BCSE electronically tells your bank
to credit your account. In most instances,
the payment will be received within 48
hours after BCSE applies the payment to
your case.
How do I know when I’ve received a
Direct Deposit payment?
To learn if a payment has been credited to
your bank account, you may contact your
bank, call the BCSE automated voice
response toll-free 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, at 1-800-249-3778 (304-558-4665,
Charleston area), or visit the BCSE website
