How do I pay restitution while on state parole?

CDCR has most likely sent your victim restitution debt to the Franchise Tax Board for collection. The FTB will send you a demand notice with contact information and instructions on how to set up a payment plan. You can also contact the FTB directly to make payment arrangements. (See PG. 676 for FTB contact information.) If you also want to pay off your restitution fines (or parole revocation fines) voluntarily while you are on parole, you can send these payments directly to CDCR. Your parole agent can tell you how much you owe and/or answer other questions about your payments.[2272]

Make sure you include your name and CDCR number with your payment, and send to:
CDCR—Office of Trust Accounting, P.O. Box 276088, Sacramento, CA 95827

IMPORTANT: You must pay off your restitution in full to transfer your parole from California to another state, otherwise your transfer request will be denied.[2273] Once you pay off your restitution, your parole agent will request a receipt showing a zero balance to submit with your transfer request. Learn more about interstate transfer on PG. 217.
