Will partial payments go through if the parent does not have enough funds or credit available?


Article Summary

In most cases, partial payments will not go through. If a parent owes 500 and they have 400 in their bank account, the transaction will be rejected for having non-sufficient funds. You will not receive any payment and an NSF fee will be charged to your account. The same is true for most credit card transactions; that is, if there is not enough credit available to pay the full amount, the request will be rejected. You will not receive partial payment. The family would still owe the full 500.

There is, however, an exception. If payment is made using an HSA Card (Health Savings Account) or Flex Card (Flexible Spending Account) partial payments are accepted. From the example above you would receive 400 through the HSA/Flex Card and the family would still owe 100.
