New Jersey Family Support Payment Center (NJFSPC)
In this Topic
Overview of NJFSPC
Each state must have a centralized unit to collect and disburse support payments in accordance with 45 CFR 302.32. In New Jersey, the NJFSPC is operated by a contracted vendor. The NJFSPC processes all checks, money orders, and receipts from over-the-counter cash payments. Payments are processed six days a week. On a nightly basis, an NJFSPC file is transferred for distribution of checks, direct deposit, or debit card disbursement. Any payments made at the Vicinage Finance Division LPU are included in this process.
Billing Statements
Currently, coupons are only available from the payment center on a quarterly basis. The NJFSPC is responsible for issuance of payment coupons to the obligors. If an income withholding has not been issued or payments are received directly from obligors, coupons are forwarded to the obligor by the payment center.
Payment Processing
All payments are sent to NJFSPC, POB 4880, Trenton, New Jersey 08650-4880. The following forms of payment may be used:
- Cash (collected at the LPU)
- Money order
- Bank check
- Cashier’s check
- Business check
- Personal check
Note: The NJFSPC will not accept starter checks, counter checks or credit card checks. A starter check is one issued at the time a new checking account is opened. The account holder’s name and the check number must be pre-printed on checks. A counter check is issued by a bank and lacks personal information (e.g., name, account number, address). A credit card check is a check issued against a personal line of credit.
