CCCSMD receives funding in the form of grants from banks and other financial institutions that support financial counseling and education. We do not pay or receive fees or other considerations for referrals of debtor students to our agency. CCCSMD is obligated to provide your certificate promptly upon completion of instruction, and we will do this within 3 business days upon the completion of your course. You will only receive your certificate upon completion of Post-filing debtor education course. CCCSMD might disclose debtor information to the Executive Office for the United States Trustee (EOUST) in connection with the United States Trustee’s oversight of the Provider, or during the investigation of complaints, during onsite visits, or during quality of service reviews.

Upon the completion of Money in Motion our agency will provide you a certificate of completion of an instruction course promptly; and no later than 3 business days from the completion of the Post- filing debtor education.

To help cover the cost of providing the Post-filing debtor education to you, this agency charges a fee of $14.95 for a single and $19.95 if you are filing jointly, payable by debit/credit card/PayPal. We do not accept personal checks. You may be eligible for a waiver of this fee based on your lack of ability to pay. A waved fee is based on 150% of poverty guidelines updated periodically by the US Department of Health and Human Services. If you think you qualify for a waiver, please call 1-800- 642-2227 or Contact Us. As you proceed you will be asked a question about your household size and income. The counselor or the online program will notify you if you are eligible for a fee waiver. If you are not eligible for a waiver your counselor will notify you and for online students, you will proceed to the payment page where the fee is $14.95 for a single and $19.95 to file jointly. We do not charge a fee for the generation of your certificate of completion.
