Recieving Payments
Receiving payments after processing, the MiSDU distributes child support either through direct deposit or a US Bank Relia Card. Recipients of support may choose one of the two options.
Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit allows for child support payments to be paid into a verified checking or saving account of your choice. Direct Deposit forms are available through the IVR customer service line, at the Friend of the Court, or on the MiSDU web site. Upon completion the form must be mailed or faxed to the MiSDU:
Address to: Attn: Direct Deposit

Fax To: (517) 318-4697
US Bank and ReliaCard
US Bank and ReliaCard is similar to an ATM card. Child support payments are electronically transferred to the US Bank and placed on the ReliaCard. The card can be used at many banks, ATM and stores who accept Visa. For full information concerning the ReliaCard and related fees, please visit the MiSDU website or call the MiSDU debit card information line at 1-877-464-3324.
If you have a question concerning your current ReliaCard you may call the customer service number located on the back of your card or listed on your last statement. In addition you can view your current account free of charge on line at www.reliacard.com
