§ 29704 Claim Approval And Payment

Key Takeaways

  • •If the auditor says 'yes' to your claim, they write 'approved' and sign it.
  • •You get paid the amount the auditor says you can have.
  • •If the board says you must take the money they offer and nothing more, you have to sign a paper saying you agree before you get paid.

Example

You ask the government to pay for a broken fence they damaged.

The auditor checks your claim and says 'yes, we’ll pay $500.' They write 'approved' and sign it. But if the board says 'you can only have $500, no more,' you must sign a paper agreeing to that before you get the money.

§ 29704 Claim Approval And Payment

If the auditor approves the action taken upon the claim, he shall endorse on the claim “approved” and attest the endorsement with his signature. He shall then issue and tender to the claimant his warrant for the amount allowed. Where the board has required the claimant to accept the amount allowed in settlement of the entire claim, the warrant shall not be delivered to the claimant until there has been delivered to the auditor a duly executed release or other instrument evidencing acceptance of the amount tendered in settlement of the entire claim. (Added by renumbering Section 29710 by Stats. 1959, Ch. 1725.)
