Sending money: supported methods, addresses, and form requirements
The safest way to send money is to follow the deposit form for the exact system your loved one is in, and complete it fully before you send anything. Florida materials show that deposits can go through different channels depending on what you are paying (for example, a personal trust deposit versus a court-ordered payment). Access Corrections offers services to send money, post bail, and make parole or probation payments online, but the exact option you should use depends on what the facility and payment type allow.
- Get the form and fill it out completely. The JPay money order deposit form says money orders will not be processed without a valid email and mailing address.
- Check eligibility before you pay. The form says you must be on your loved one’s Approved Visitors List to send money by money order.
- Make it out correctly. The form instructs you to make the money order payable to JPay.
- Mail it to the right place. The form lists the mailing address as JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026.
Court-ordered payments often have their own form and mailing address. One Florida court-ordered payment deposit form lists a mail-to address of PO Box 25009, Bradenton, FL 34206-5009. That form states money orders are limited to $999.99, and cashier's checks or certified bank drafts can be up to $10,000. Do not send cash, business or employer checks, or payments through online bill paying services.
