§ 8973 Warrant Substitution Amounts

• •If you replace a warrant (like a check from the government), the new ones must add up to the same amount as the original.
• •You can't get more or less money by swapping out the warrant.
• •This rule makes sure no one cheats the system by changing the amount.

Imagine the government owes you $100 and gives you a paper saying they'll pay you. If they need to give you new papers instead, the new ones must still add up to $100.

You can't get $150 or $50—it has to be the same $100. This keeps things fair.
