Are there any exceptions to receiving child support electronically?
Yes. The law allows some individuals to continue receiving support payments by check. These include individuals with a mental disability, physical disability, or language or literacy barrier that results in a hardship for those individuals in accessing electronic payments; and individuals with both home and work addresses that are more than 30 miles from an automated teller machine (ATM) or their financial institution. Customers can request an exemption by calling toll free, 1-877-4-MI-Debit (1-877-464-3324). All other individuals in the counties must choose between direct deposit or a ReliaCard Visa debit card.
