How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money is straightforward once you know the Florida DOC court-ordered payment deposit rules. Here are the limits, what to avoid, and how to prevent delays.
For the Florida DOC court-ordered payment deposit process, the maximum amount depends on how you pay. Money orders are capped at $999.99. Cashier's checks and certified bank drafts can go up to $10,000. There's no fee to send money by any of these three methods under this process.
- ✓ Do not send cash.
- ✓ Do not send checks issued by businesses or employers.
- ✓ Do not send payments through online bill-paying services.
- ✓ Do not include letters or notes with your payment.
Heads up: If you send a money order, cashier's check, or certified bank draft through JPay and then place a stop payment on it, you'll be responsible for reimbursing JPay for any bank fees or insufficient-fund charges that result.
- Match your amount to the state maximum. Keep money orders at or under $999.99, and keep cashier’s checks or certified bank drafts at or under $10,000 for Florida DOC court-ordered mailed payments.
- Use an allowed payment type. Send a money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft.
- Avoid disallowed items. Do not send cash, business or employer checks, or payments from online bill-pay services.
- Send the payment only. Leave out letters and notes so the deposit is not delayed or rejected.
- Do not stop payment after you send it through JPay. If you initiate a stop payment on a money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft, you must reimburse JPay for any bank fees or insufficient-fund charges that result.
What to Verify
- ✓ Confirm the current state maximums for court-ordered mailed payments ($999.99 for money orders, $10,000 for cashier’s checks or certified bank drafts).
- ✓ Confirm the court-ordered deposit process still states there is no fee for sending money by money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft.
- ✓ Confirm you are using the correct court-ordered payment mailing procedure (including the correct address and any required form details) for the Florida DOC process.
- ✓ Confirm cash is still not accepted for the court-ordered payment deposit process.
- ✓ Confirm checks from businesses or employers are still not accepted.
- ✓ Confirm payments initiated through online bill-paying services are still not accepted.
- ✓ Confirm letters and notes are still not allowed in the envelope with the payment.
Heads up: Before sending funds through JPay, check their current stop-payment policy. You could be on the hook for bank fees or NSF charges if a stop payment is placed.
