How to Send Money to Facility

Funds sent through MoneyGram ExpressPayment between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post to the inmate account within 2 to 4 hours. Send after 9:00 p.m. EST, and it won't post until 7:00 a.m. EST the next morning. Processing runs seven days a week, holidays included. That's helpful if you need to get money to someone over a weekend or holiday. Just keep the time of day in mind, since that determines whether it shows up the same day or the following morning.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Send MoneyGram ExpressPayment funds between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST if you want the best chance of same-day posting (within 2 to 4 hours).
• ✓ If you send after 9:00 p.m. EST, plan for the money to post at 7:00 a.m. EST the next morning.
• ✓ Don’t assume weekends or holidays slow things down. Funds are received and processed seven days per week, including holidays.

If your situation involves TRULINCS paperwork (contact-related requests, for example), ask the facility about the TRULINCS Contact Request Form. Confirm whether they refer to it as BP-A1054, which is how it's listed in the Trust Fund and Deposit Fund Manual.

1. Ask what posting window they follow: Confirm that MoneyGram ExpressPayment deposits sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST post within 2 to 4 hours.
2. Confirm the after-hours cutoff: Verify that deposits sent after 9:00 p.m. EST post at 7:00 a.m. EST the following morning.
3. Double-check weekend and holiday processing: Ask whether they process deposits seven days per week, including holidays, so you can plan around urgent needs.

If you're told to use a TRULINCS contact form, confirm the exact form name and number the facility uses. Check whether it matches BP-A1054. Also ask how you or your loved one should obtain and submit the form. The form label alone won't tell you the local process.
