While income withholding is the way most support is collected, there are other ways you can make a support payment. These options do not replace income withholding, but they are useful if you are self-employed, between jobs, or if you want to pay extra towards your past-due support. Whichever way you choose, all support must be paid through the WI Support Collections Trust Fund. This is not only a state law, but this is the only way you can be sure that you get credit for your payments. For more information, please visit Ways to Pay

Direct Deposit is a secure and convenient way to receive child support payments. You can choose to directly deposit your child support payments into a checking or savings account. To sign up for direct deposit, complete the application form and mail it to the address found on the top left-hand corner of the application. Applications and more information can be found here.
