§ 17096 Replacement Warrant Expiration

Key Takeaways

  • •If you get a new check from the government because the old one was lost or broken, you have to cash it fast.
  • •The new check is no good if you don’t cash it before the deadline (same as the old check’s deadline).
  • •If you miss the deadline, the check becomes worthless, and you can’t get the money.

Example

You lost your tax refund check from the government, so they sent you a new one.

If you don’t cash the new check before the deadline (same as the old check’s deadline), it won’t work anymore, and you won’t get your money.
