How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money should be simple, but the details vary by facility and system. Here's what's confirmed, plus what you'll need to verify before submitting a payment.
The confirmed information here covers account access on the CDCR GTL VisitMe site, not the actual money-sending process. New users can create an account using the "CLAIM ACCOUNT" link. Existing users can reset access using the "Forgot your password?" link. This evidence is limited to those login features. It doesn't confirm which deposit methods are accepted (online, phone, mail, kiosk), whether fees apply, how long deposits take to post, or what restrictions exist. Use the VisitMe account steps as your starting point for accessing the right system. Then verify the payment instructions for your specific facility before sending any funds.
Steps
- ✓ Use the “CLAIM ACCOUNT” link on the CDCR GTL VisitMe site to create your account if you are a new user.
- ✓ Use the “Forgot your password?” link on the same login page if you need to reset your password and regain access.
Before sending money, confirm the basics for your loved one's facility and your specific situation. Start with the official instructions for that facility, then double-check anything that affects cost or timing. Verify these details: which deposit methods are allowed, what fees apply (and who charges them), how long funds typically take to become available, what information you need to match the deposit to the correct person, and whether any limits or restrictions apply. The evidence here only confirms that the CDCR GTL VisitMe site has links for account creation and password recovery. It doesn't confirm the deposit process itself.
Note: Use the CDCR GTL VisitMe site for account creation and password recovery. For the current deposit steps and fees, rely on the facility's official instructions and contact options.
