§ 305 Refund Claims Payment Process

• •If the state has your money and needs to give it back, you have to ask for it.
• •The state won’t give your money back unless the right department sends in a claim.
• •The State Controller is the person who approves and sends the refund.

You paid too much for your car registration, and the extra money went to the state.

The DMV has to send a claim to the State Controller to get your extra money back. Then, the State Controller will send you the refund.
