How to pay child support

To make a credit card or digital wallet payment, or to set up a one-time or recurring payment, visit the Massachusetts Child Support Internet Payment Website.

• To make sure you receive credit for the payments you mail to DOR, you must use payment identification stubs (payment stubs). Send in a payment stub with every payment.
• If you are ordered to pay child support by income withholding, use the payment stubs until you see that your employer is taking the child support out of your check.
• If you do not have an order to pay support by income withholding, use these payment stubs until you receive a bill from us (about 3 weeks after we receive your court order). Your bill will include a payment stub for you to submit with your payment.
• When paying by mail:
  • You should pay by check or money order.
  • Make your check payable to Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
  • Mail your payment to:
    DOR/CSE
    P.O. Box 55144
    Boston, MA 02205-5144

You can pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) over the phone by calling (800) 332-2733, or (617) 660-1234 if you're in Greater Boston.  A small convenience fee is added to each credit card payment.

MoneyGram

• You can also make your payment in cash at thousands of U.S. MoneyGram locations, including Walmart, CVS, and Shaw’s. Use Receive Code 14664 to make sure your payment comes to DOR.
• You will need your Department of Revenue Personal ID Number (PIN) found on your bill. If you don’t know your PIN, call us at 800-332-2733. (617-660-1234 for  callers in the Boston Area)
• In most cases, MoneyGram payments reach us in 3 business days. Once we get your payment, we will credit it to your child support obligation.
