§ 17094 Replacing Lost Warrants

• •If a check from the government gets lost or ruined, they can give you a new one.
• •The government keeps track of the lost or ruined checks and the new ones they send out.
• •This rule helps make sure people get their money even if the first check is gone or damaged.

You get a check from the government for a tax refund, but it gets lost in the mail.

The government will note that your check is lost and send you a new one so you still get your money.
