• 2 min read
Sending money to someone at Dallas County Youth Village means following the facility's current rules exactly. The available information doesn't confirm which payment methods are accepted, who can send funds, or how long deposits take to post. Contact the facility before sending anything to confirm the approved process and the exact details they need for the youth you're supporting.
Steps
- ✓ Call Dallas County Youth Village and ask for the current, approved way to add money to a resident’s account.
- ✓ Confirm the exact resident details you must provide (for example, full legal name and any identifying numbers the facility uses).
- ✓ Ask what forms of payment are accepted right now and what is not accepted.
- ✓ Verify where the money must be sent or submitted, and whether there are any special formatting requirements for the resident’s name or account information.
- ✓ Follow the facility’s instructions exactly, including any limits on amounts, frequency, or who can send.
- ✓ Keep your receipt or confirmation details so you can track the deposit if there is a delay.
- ✓ If the funds do not show up when expected, call back with your confirmation information and ask what the next step is.
Verify
- ✓ What payment methods are currently accepted for deposits (and which are not allowed)?
- ✓ Does the youth need to be assigned an account number or resident ID before money can be added?
- ✓ What exact information must be included with a deposit (name format, ID number, date of birth, housing unit, etc.)?
- ✓ Are there limits on how much you can send, how often you can send, or who can send money?
- ✓ Are there fees associated with the deposit method you choose?
- ✓ How long does it typically take for money to post to the resident’s account?
- ✓ If mailing is allowed, what is the correct mailing address and how should the envelope or payment be labeled?
- ✓ If in-person drop-off is allowed, where do you go and what identification (if any) should you bring?
- ✓ What happens if a deposit is submitted with missing or incorrect resident information?
- ✓ Are there restrictions on how the youth can use the funds once they are deposited?
Tip: Call before you send money. Have the youth's full legal name ready, and ask staff to confirm the current deposit method and exactly what information they need. This helps avoid delays or rejected funds.
