How to Send Money to Someone at Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center

Every person in the Missouri Department of Corrections system has a personal funds account. That money covers the basics - phone time, commissary items, clothing, hygiene products, and certain supplies. If your loved one just arrived at FRDC for reception and diagnostics, having funds available means they can buy what they need as soon as purchases are allowed.

Prefer to deposit cash in person? JPay partners with MoneyGram, so you can make cash payments at any MoneyGram agent location for people in the Missouri DOC system. It's a solid option if you don't want to use a card online or just prefer paying at a retail counter.

• ✓ Bring a valid government-issued photo ID (for example, a driver’s license).

1. Ask for the blue MoneyGram ExpressPayment form - this is the form used for these deposits.
2. Fill in the receive code - use 2439 for Missouri DOC.
3. Enter the account number in the required format - type the offender’s ID number immediately followed by their last name, with no spaces.
4. Review everything before you hand it over - one wrong digit or a misspelled last name can send the money to the wrong place.

Hand the completed form to the MoneyGram agent along with your cash. You'll pay the transfer fee at the counter. After processing, you'll get a MoneyGram reference (transaction) number - keep it. That number is your proof of payment and what you'll need if you ever have to track or confirm the deposit.

Don't want to visit a MoneyGram location? You can deposit funds through JPay using an electronic transfer instead. It gets money onto the account for commissary and phone time without handling cash in person.

You can also mail a money order or cashier's check. Make it payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections and include a Department of Corrections deposit slip. Follow Missouri DOC's deposit slip and mailing instructions so your payment gets routed correctly.

All three methods accomplish the same thing: getting funds posted to the offender's Missouri DOC account for approved purchases. Not sure which to pick? Go with whichever you can complete accurately today - cash at MoneyGram, an electronic transfer through JPay, or a mailed money order with the required deposit slip.

If your loved one says the money hasn't shown up, double-check what you submitted - receive code, account number format, spelling - against what you intended. Then use your receipt details to follow up through the same channel you used to send the funds. Confirm with the offender once it posts.
