Registering and Scheduling a Bank Draft
|
|
What should I do to have child support payments automatically withdrawn from my bank account?
|
Click Employer at this web site, register an account, and schedule a payment.
|
|
What information is required to register an account on the web site?
|
- Employer name
- Contact name
- Telephone number
- Valid e-mail address
- Bank information: bank name, routing number, account number, type of account; checking or savings
|
|
Can I schedule more than one payment, for example, a payment on the 15th of
the month, as well as one on the 30th?
|
Yes, however, you will need to schedule each payment separately.
|
|
Can I have more than one bank account authorized for a payment?
|
No, you can only authorize one bank account for a payment.
|
|
What day will funds be withdrawn from my bank account?
|
Funds will be withdrawn on the scheduled payment date. If that date 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Sunday, or bank holiday the funds will be withdrawn the next business day.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 Services to receive a child support
payment once it is withdrawn from my bank account?
|
The payment will be processed on the scheduled date unless there are technical difficulties.
Your employees will receive credit for the payment on the same date.
|
|
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If a withdrawal falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday, the funds will be withdrawn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 employees will receive credit for the payment on the same date.
|
|
What is the earliest date that I can schedule a payment?
|
Your payment start 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 on Monday the 1st, you must set your
payment start date no earlier than Tuesday the 9th.
|
|
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) period.
Example: Today is January 26 (Monday) and you entered January 30 (Friday) as your payment
start date. The web site calculates the start date as February 3, taking the five business day
verification period into consideration; January 27 - February 2

|
Verification (Prenote) Period
|
|
What happens after I register an account and schedule a payment?
|
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 payment 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?
|
Edit your bank account information at 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.
|
|
|
|
Editing or Changing an Account
|
|
I changed my bank account. What should I do?
|
Submit your new bank account information when you schedule your next payment. A prenote will be sent
to verify the new bank account information. If your payment is due before the end of the five
business day verification (prenote) period, you will need to mail your employees’ withholdings to the
Colorado Family Support Registry in order to avoid delinquency on their child support
accounts.
|
|
I authorized a bank draft and now I want to cancel it. What should I do?
|
Cancel your payment at this web site. You must allow two business days prior to the payment's scheduled
date to cancel your payment.
|
|
|
|
Unavailable Funds
|
|
What if my bank account does not have sufficient funds to cover a payment?
|
You must cancel your payment at least two business days prior to its scheduled date. You can cancel your
payment at this web site.
|
|
What if I fail to cancel the payment two business days prior to its scheduled date and there are
insufficient funds in my account?
|
Your account will be placed on hold after receipt of two insufficient funds notifications. Your automatic
withdrawal will be cancelled and you will be required to remit all future payments with a guaranteed payment
instrument such as a money order, cashier's check, or certified check. Returned ACH debit payments are subject
to a $20 returned payment fee and a fee may also be imposed by your financial institution.
|
|
Why is my account on hold?
|
We attempted to withdraw funds from your bank account on two separate occasions and they were not available.
You will be required to remit all future payments by a guaranteed instrument such as a money order, cashier's
check, or certified check.
