How to Send Money to Someone at Loxley Community Work Center: All Four Methods Explained
Sending money to someone at Loxley Community Work Center is straightforward once you pick the right method. Alabama DOC approves four options: online, by phone, cash at retail locations, or mailing a money order with a deposit coupon.
Alabama DOC approves four ways to send money to someone at Loxley Community Work Center: deposit online through Access Corrections, deposit by phone through Access Corrections, make a cash deposit at a CashPayToday retail location, or mail a money order with a deposit coupon. For online or phone deposits, you'll need an Access Secure Deposits (Access Corrections) account - set one up through the Access Corrections website or by calling (866) 345-1884.
Speed usually decides which method works best. Mailed deposits can take up to a week to process - fine if you can plan ahead. Online, phone, and cash walk-in deposits are faster, with funds typically posted within 24 hours.
Fees vary by method and deposit amount. For deposits between $0.01–$25.00, ADOC's fee schedule shows $2.95 for internet deposits and $3.95 for phone and walk-in deposits. Money orders by mail have no fee. One thing to watch: if a mailed money order or cashier's check gets returned, you'll be charged a $25 handling fee.
- Choose online or phone - ADOC uses Access Secure Deposits (Access Corrections) for both methods.
- Establish your account - Set it up through the Access Corrections website or by calling (866) 345-1884.
- Complete your deposit - Follow the prompts to finish the transaction and keep your confirmation/record for your files.
Note: Online and phone deposits are among the fastest options - funds typically post within 24 hours. For small deposits ($0.01–$25.00), expect a $2.95 fee online or $3.95 by phone.
Prefer paying with cash in person? CashPayToday retail locations work well, but setup matters. Before heading to a payment location, register yourself and the person you're sending money to. You'll need to show a barcode at the register when you make the deposit.
Update: CashPayToday states that as of August 1, 2025, new registrations are handled by Access Corrections on their website. You still need to register before visiting a payment location.
Once you're registered and have your barcode, walk-in cash deposits are quick. Funds typically post within 24 hours. For deposits in the $0.01–$25.00 range, the fee is $3.95.
Mailing a money order is the slow-and-steady approach. It works well if you prefer not to use online or phone deposits. The tradeoff is timing: mailed deposits can take up to a week to process. Don't use this method if you need funds on someone's account quickly.
- ✓ Include a deposit coupon with your money order/cashier’s check.
- ✓ Mail to: Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132.
- ✓ Use U.S. funds only.
- ✓ Use a money order or a cashier’s check drawn from a U.S. financial institution.
Warning: If your money order or cashier’s check is returned, a $25 handling fee is assessed.
Sending a large amount? Expect extra paperwork. Federal law requires you to provide your Social Security Number for deposits - or combined deposits - totaling $3,000 or more.
Most mailed deposit problems come down to the money order itself. ADOC requires mailed deposits in U.S. funds, and Access Corrections only accepts money orders or checks drawn from U.S. financial institutions. Double-check those details before you mail anything.
Note: A returned money order or check triggers a $25 handling fee. Using U.S. funds and a money order/cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. financial institution helps you avoid that return.
Start with Access Corrections for official tools. ADOC directs people to the Access Corrections website - or the phone line at (866) 345-1884 - to set up an account for online or phone deposits. Mailing a money order? You'll also need a deposit coupon, available through Access Corrections or by request at a facility.
Check the current ADOC fee schedule before submitting a deposit so you know what will be deducted. Small deposits ($0.01–$25.00) have different fees depending on whether you use internet, phone, or walk-in.
