How long after the NCP makes a payment should I receive a check?
A. If you have a Non-Public Assistance (NPA) case, your check should be mailed on the next business day after the payment was receipted. If you have a Public Assistance case, your check is mailed at the end of the month, but you won’t receive funds from the NCP’s payment unless he/she has paid in excess of the ordered amount.
A. If you have a Non-Public Assistance (NPA) case, your first child support payment will be in the form of a check, unless you have signed up for direct deposit. That check should be mailed on the next business day after the payment was receipted. You will receive subsequent payments through the ncKIDScard (debit card) program. Payments are automatically deposited in your ncKIDScard account within two (2) business days after the noncustodial parent’s payment has been applied to your case. If you receive Public Assistance, the child support payment will be used to reimburse the State for the Public Assistance that you have received.
