Sending Money to Someone at Columbia Work Camp? Verify the JPay Mailing Address First

Here's the problem: official Florida forms show two different JPay mailing addresses. One JPay money-order coupon directs payments to PO Box 260130 in Hollywood, Florida. Another JPay deposit form lists PO Box 260010 in Hollywood. That's a real, printed discrepancy. Don't assume you know the right address just because you've sent money before.

• ✓ JPay, PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026
• ✓ JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026

Florida Department of Corrections guidance says certain funds should go to the appropriate Service Center using specific payment types: US Postal money orders, cashier's checks, or certified bank drafts. If you're handling an official payment (not just sending spending money), make sure you're using the right form and sending it to the correct destination.

Court-ordered payments handled through CorrectPay go to a different address entirely: FL Court Ordered Payment, PO Box 25009, Bradenton, FL 34206-5009. That's separate from the JPay PO Boxes on money-order deposit forms. Match the address to the type of payment you're making.

One easy-to-miss requirement: JPay won't process your money order unless the deposit form includes both a valid email and a mailing address. Leave either blank (or make them unreadable), and your payment stalls before it ever gets credited.

This one surprises people: the JPay money-order deposit form requires you to be on your loved one's Approved Visitors List. If you're not approved yet, handle that first - otherwise you're setting yourself up for a delay.

The form also requires a copy of your ID. Accepted types: driver's license, state identification card, or passport. Skip the ID copy and you'll hit the same processing delays as leaving fields blank.

1. Use the exact mailing address printed on your deposit slip - JPay forms in circulation show two different Hollywood PO Boxes (260130 and 260010), so follow the one on the specific coupon/form you’re completing.
2. Don’t mix and match older paperwork - if you printed a form a while back, re-check the mailing address line before you mail anything, because the address on another version may not match.

• ✓ Write in a valid email and a mailing address on the deposit form (money orders won’t be processed without them)
• ✓ Confirm you’re on the incarcerated person’s Approved Visitors List before sending a money order
• ✓ Include a copy of your ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) with the deposit form

Protect yourself by keeping records. Before you mail anything, make a copy or snap a clear photo of the completed deposit slip and money order receipt. If something goes wrong, you'll have the amount, tracking details, and exact address you used.
