Receiving Payments

SDU offers parents more options – Today child support payments can be received by:

When a payment is received, it is forwarded to the family within two business days unless the money is owed to the county or must be held for some other reason. All collections, except federal tax refund intercepts, are credited to current monthly support (child support first, medical second, and spousal third.) If there is money remaining after paying current support, it is used to pay any past due child support.   Payments applied to past due child support are first applied to principal and then to interest.
