If paying by mail, we recommend mailing your payments no later than the 25th of the month, so that there is enough time for them to be received, processed and credited to your account by the last day of the month. This will ensure you are able to successfully report using the Telephone Reporting System the following month.
Credit cards (Visa/MasterCard/Discover) and Debit cards (with the Visa or MasterCard logo) or Direct Express card (federal benefits program) are accepted for payments made online (this website) or by phone (1-866-520-7225)
Money orders and cashier's check are the only forms of payment accepted when paying by mail. No other forms of payment are accepted, and will be returned to you.
This will delay your payment being processed and could result in your payment being late.
DO NOT SEND personal checks
DO NOT SEND company checks
DO NOT MAKE online payments from your bank's website
The Monthly Fee is $6.00.
- When using online payments, a $2.50 convenience fee will be applied per payment.

Therefore, the longer the term you select, the less you pay per month.

Payments can only be applied to one Telephone Reporting System account, so you must make a separate payment for each person using the Telephone Reporting System. If paying by mail, you must use a separate money order and seperate envelope for each payment (cannot pay for more than one person with one payment).
Be sure to keep your receipt in case there are any problems with the delivery and processing of your payment.
If paying by mail, it is important that you write both your PIN # and Date of Birth on your payment AND on the Payment Voucher to insure that your account be credited correctly. If you do not know your PIN #, please contact your Probation Officer.
Properly filling out your payment and Payment Voucher will ensure that your payment is processed on a timely basis. Not following proper payment procedures will result in delays in processing your payment, which could result in your not having enough money in your account to report by phone on time.
When you fill out your payment, be sure to CLEARLY PRINT your name, your address, your PIN # and your Date of Birth
Here is an example (below) of a properly filled out payment and Payment Voucher for John Q. Public. Do NOT write in the sample information used for this example when you make your payment you need to write in YOUR information.
Also, be sure to separate the Customer's Receipt from the money order and keep it for your records

Pre-printed remittance envelopes are provided free of charge for your payments. If you do not have any envelopes, you can request more from your Probation Officer or pick them up from any Probation and Parole office.
Not having a pre-printed envelope is not an excuse for not mailing in your payment on time.
If you do not have one of the pre-printed envelopes, you can send your payment in a regular envelope to the Telephone Reporting System payment center at:

If the matter cannot be resolved with this information, you will need to have the agency that issued the money order run a trace to see if the payment has been cashed.
- If it has been cashed, you will need the information from the BACK of the money order. This information is the bank's internal tracking number and should enable us to locate the payment and credit your account.
- If the payment has not been cashed, you can request a refund from the issuing agency. Note: there are usually time restrictions on how soon the agency will issue a refund. The USPS, for example, will not issue a refund until 60 days have passed from the date the money order was originally purchased.
If you believe you are entitled to a refund on your Telephone Reporting System account or if you believe your payment was applied incorrectly (wrong amount, to another account), you will need to send a refund request AND a self-addressed stamped envelope to the PAYMENT address for the Telephone Reporting System program. We will review your account balance as of the date the request is POSTMARKED. Please allow 3-4 weeks for your refund to arrive.
If you have any questions not answered here, you may email us at this address. We will only be able to answer questions regarding your Telephone Reporting System account status and payment history. Any questions regarding your parole or probation or your requirement to report by phone need to be directed to your Probation Officer.
