​​​​​​​TPLRD Electronic Funds Transfer Payments

Back to the TPLRD webpage​

The Third Party Liability and Recovery Division (TPLRD) accepts online payment from your checking or savings account through the secured Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). EFTs offer a faster, more secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional payment methods. EFTs eliminate the delays associated with traditional paper-based payment methods like checks.

Make an EFT Payment

Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) offer a range of benefits that make them an efficient and popular method for transferring funds. Here are the key advantages:

  • Free, online payment submission
  • Safe and secure funds transfer
  • Scheduled payment automation
  • Quicker transfers and fast processing time
  • Save on postage and printing costs​
  • Digital record keeping

Make a payment by selecting the button at the bottom of this screen. You have the option to pay as an Enrolled User or a One-Time Payment User

Enrolled User

The Enrolled User option allows you to easily:

  • Submit and track payments
  • Receive notifications about scheduled payment submissions
  • Manage multiple enrollments with different banking information
  • Schedule future payments, reducing the risk of missing deadlines
  • Cancel a scheduled payment
  • Access and track payment history.

Sign up Online 

Please submit the online enrollment form by clicking the New Enrollment Request​ button located in the EFT portal. Allow 5 business days for the ennrollment request to be processed. 

Sign up by Mail

Print out the Mail-in EFT Enrollment Form and send it to DHCS by mail to:

Department of Health Care Services
TPLRD EFT Admin, MS 4718
P.O. Box 997425
Sacramento, CA 95899-7425

Once TPLRD processes your form, you will receive two enrollment confirmation emails to activate your account. Please note, mail-in forms will take additional time to process.

One-Time Payment User

The One-Time Payment User option may be the best option if:

  • You are not an enrolled user and need to send one or more payments immediately.
  • You are not looking for a long-term commitment.
  • You wish for the flexibility to send payments as needed.
  • You submitted the EFT self-enrollment request (to become an Enrolled User), but have not yet received an enrollment confirmation email.

You can schedule a One-Time Payment by clicking on TPLRD One-Time Pay option at the top of the EFT Website.

Please note: as a One-Time Payment User, you do not have the option to cancel a scheduled payment nor access your payment history.
