The New Jersey Child Support Program offers the person receiving support three options for getting support payments: 

  • Direct deposit to your bank account or
  • The New Jersey Child Support Debit Card, also known as the Way2Go Card
  • Check 

These options make receiving support payments faster, easier and more secure. Please allow approximately 10 business days for payments to reach your account when starting or changing your payment option. 

Direct Deposit

You can sign up for direct deposit by entering your bank account information when you are logged into your account on your Case Information Portal. You may also sign up by completing an authorization form, which is available at your local child support office or can be downloaded - Direct Deposit Authorization Form (PDF). Once approved, payments will be sent directly to your checking or savings account. Note that only U.S. banks can accept direct deposit. 

Debit Card

If you do not sign up for direct deposit or you don’t have a bank account, you will receive a Way2Go Card to receive your support payments. 

The Way2Go Card can be used to make purchases and get cash back at retailers. You get one free cash withdrawal per deposit each month at participating banks and ATMs (fees may apply for additional withdrawals).

You may download the Go Program Way2Go Card mobile app (available in the Google Play and Apple App Store) to register your account, activate your card, change your PIN, view your transaction history, receive account alerts and perform bank transfers. Additional support is available at GoProgram.com or by calling 1-833-322-1441.

WFNJ and Child Support

If you receive Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) cash assistance, any child support payments collected on behalf of your child(ren) will be sent to the state to reimburse your cash assistance.

As a WFNJ recipient, you may receive up to $100 per month for one child or up to $200 per month for two or more children of the support amount collected. Once you are no longer receiving WFNJ cash assistance, you will receive the full amount of child support collected.
