However, they still have a responsibility to support their children. That's why the 2023 changes to child support in Minnesota include a minimum basic support amount of $50 for families with one child and additional increases of $10 per extra child.
These are forms designed by banks and credit unions to provide the payee's name, address, and account details. Direct deposit authorization forms are available online, usually through your payee's online account access, or from a local bank branch.
Can I have my child support checks directly deposited into my bank account? You can obtain a Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement Form by downloading the form on the "Forms" page or by calling Customer Service at 877-225-7077 and requesting the form be faxed or mailed to you.
Submit your completed form to your employer, their payroll company, or their HR department. You may need to scan your printed copy, or they may ask you to mail it or deliver it in person. Or you may be able to submit the form by email. This will depend on your employer's preferences.
