Debit Card Information

If you are not enrolled in direct deposit, you will receive your support on a VISA Debit Card. In an effort to offer you more flexibility and free usage with your child support debit card, the West Virginia Bureau for Child Support Enforcement is pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2006 CHASE will be our debit card issuer. You will receive your CHASE debit card along with a welcome packet which explains how to use the card. You will need to activate your card following the instructions you will receive along with your card. All support payments distributed from that point on will be loaded on your CHASE debit card.
