To obtain your Child Support Payments quicker, easier, and safer, the District of Columbia Child Support Services Division is replacing paper checks with electronic payments. If you are a Child Support recipient, you can receive your payments as a Direct Deposit into your bank account or by using a District of Columbia Electronic Payment Card. If you already receive your Child Support Payments by direct deposit, you do not need to do anything at this time.

Special Notice To Joint Account Holders
Joint account holders should immediately advise both the Child Support Services Division and the financial institution of the death of an account holder.  Funds deposited after the date of death or ineligibility of the client are to be returned to the Child Support Services Division. Each joint account holder hereby irrevocably directs the financial institution, upon notice and request of the Child Support Services Division, to return such funds to the Child Support Services Division. The financial institution will be held harmless by the Child Support Services Division for any claim arising in connection with this procedure.
