Allegheny County Child Support Lawyers
How to Receive Child Support
In Pennsylvania, there are two ways to receive child support payments.
Most people who receive child support choose to have the money directly deposited into their bank account.
Some elect to use an EPPICard, which is a type of debit card. You cannot make your own deposits onto an EPPICard account, which can be used at most retail stores, grocery stores and ATMs.
