Payments
Effective immediately, Indiana Code Section 31-16-9-1 requires that child support payments be mailed to the Indiana State Central Collection Unit (INSCCU) at:
INSCCU

Payments to INSCCU can be remitted in the form of personal check, money order, cashier's, or certified check made payable to "INSCCU". Do not send cash payments to the INSCCU address. Be certain that the Porter County cause number and payer's name are on all checks or money orders, and that they are legible.
