For example, if the 15th and 30th are selected, February's payments would occur on the 15th and 28th (the last day of the month). Can I schedule more than one payment, for example, a payment on the 20th of the month, as well as a payment every two weeks on Friday? Yes, however, if the case and/ or order number are not specified, the funds for each payment will be prorated across all your child support cases and orders. What day will the funds be withdrawn from my bank account? Funds will be withdrawn on the scheduled payment date. If the scheduled draft falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday the funds will be withdrawn the next business day. How long will it take for Child Support Enforcement to receive a child support payment once it is withdrawn from my bank account? You will receive credit for the payment on the same date that it is scheduled to be withdrawn from your bank account. What happens if my payment is scheduled for a weekend or a holiday? If a withdrawal falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday, the funds will be withdrawn the next business day. Your child support account will be credited the day the funds are withdrawn from your bank account. When may I schedule a payment? A payment must be scheduled at least two business days prior to its due date, assuming that your bank account information has been previously verified (prenote). What is the earliest date that I can select for my first payment date? Your first payment date must be at least five business days from the date you register your account. This will allow sufficient time for your bank account information to be verified (prenote). If your account has been previously verified then the payment must be scheduled at least two business days prior to its due date. Example: If you register your account and establish a payment schedule on Monday the 1st, you must set your first payment date no earlier than Monday the 8th. I entered a start date and the web site calculated a different date for my first payment. What am I doing wrong? If you entered a start date that is less than five business days from today's date, your date will be automatically adjusted to include the five business day verification (prenote) process. Example: Today is January 26 (Monday) and a payment frequency of semi-monthly (15th and 30th) is selected. Friday the 30th is entered as the first payment date. The first payment date is set to February 16. The 16th is determined by calculating five business days (January 27 - February 2), and then determining if the 15th is a business day. Since the 15th is on a Sunday your first payment date is set to the 16th.
Questions About the Verification (Prenote) Period
What happens after I register an account and establish a payment schedule? If your bank account information has not been previously verified, it will be submitted to your bank for verification (prenote). If the prenote is successful, your payments will be withdrawn as scheduled. If the prenote is unsuccessful, you will be notified by e-mail and no payment will be processed. Why would a prenote be returned as unsuccessful? Most prenotes are returned as unsuccessful when the bank account information was entered incorrectly. I received an e-mail that the prenote was unsuccessful. What should I do now? Edit your bank account information through this web site and reschedule your payment. The prenote will be resubmitted. You may want to contact your bank if you need assistance identifying the routing and account numbers.
