§ 8974 Warrant Replacement Procedures

Key Takeaways

  • •If a warrant (like a check from the government) is lost or needs to be replaced, the Controller can issue a new one.
  • •The new warrant will show it's a replacement and include details like the original warrant number and dates.
  • •The money for the new warrant comes from the same fund as the original one.

Example

You lost a check from the government for a tax refund.

The government can give you a new check, but it will say it's a replacement and include info from the old check. The money still comes from the same place.
