How to Send a JPay Money Order to Someone at Beauregard Parish Jail: limits, forms, and common issues

Before sending a JPay money order to someone at Beauregard Parish Jail, know these four rules. The Money Order Deposit Slip caps each money order at $999.99. Amounts over $500 require Louisiana Department of Corrections approval, which can delay posting. Even when everything checks out, approved money orders are processed within ten (10) business days after JPay receives them. And here's one that trips people up: JPay won't process your money order at all if the deposit slip is missing a valid email address and mailing address.

1. Fill in the inmate information carefully - enter the person’s details exactly as requested on the Louisiana JPay Money Order Deposit Slip so the payment can be matched to the right account.
2. Write your mailing address clearly - your address is required on the deposit slip, and it’s also how problems get routed back to you if something needs to be corrected.
3. Include a valid email address - JPay won’t process money orders without a valid email on the deposit slip.
4. Double-check that everything is legible and complete - missing or hard-to-read contact info is one of the fastest ways to create delays or a non-processed payment.

The Louisiana Money Order Deposit Slip caps each money order at $999.99. Need to send more? You'll have to split it across multiple money orders.

Money orders over $500 require Louisiana Department of Corrections approval. This extra step can slow things down, so larger amounts may take longer to hit your loved one's account.

Once JPay receives your money order and approves it, processing takes up to ten (10) business days. That clock starts when JPay gets it - not the day you drop it in the mail.

Common Mistakes

• ✓ Leaving off your valid email address or mailing address - JPay will not process the money order.
• ✓ Including letters or notes in the envelope with the payment - they will be discarded.
• ✓ Initiating a stop payment - you’ll be responsible for reimbursing JPay for any bank fees or insufficient funds charges caused by the stop payment.

Most problems come down to paperwork and extras. Tuck a note or letter in with your payment? It won't be delivered - it gets discarded. Start a stop payment? You're on the hook for reimbursing JPay for any bank fees or insufficient funds charges. And if your deposit slip is missing a valid email address and mailing address, the money order won't be processed at all. That usually means more waiting and back-and-forth to sort it out.

Stuck on the deposit slip or have questions about sending a money order? Call JPay at 800-574-5729. Considering a stop payment because something seems off? Keep in mind you may have to reimburse JPay for any bank fees or insufficient funds charges tied to that stop payment.

1. Call JPay support at 800-574-5729 - ask for help with the money order deposit form and what to do next.
2. Confirm what you wrote on the deposit slip - be ready to read back your email address and mailing address, since missing contact info can stop processing.
3. Ask what happens if you stop payment - if you initiate a stop payment, plan to reimburse JPay for any bank fees or insufficient funds charges that result.
