Commissary Payout Terms

Last updated 2026-09-24

Draft — pending legal review. This document describes how the service works today and may change before general availability.

Current status

Commissary payouts are not yet enabled. Contributions accumulate on your ledger and will become sendable when payout partners are connected. We will email members before payouts open.

Requirements

  • Your loved one's details must be verified.
  • The available balance must be at least $10.00.
  • Only one payout per loved one can be in progress at a time.

Processing

Each payout moves through clearly labeled stages (requested, approved, processing, paid) that you can see in your dashboard. Payouts are reviewed by two separate staff members before being released. A payout marked paid always carries a provider reference or a documented manual exception.

Facility rules

Facilities and their commissary vendors set deposit limits, fees and blackout periods. If a facility rejects a deposit, the amount returns to your available balance and you are notified.
