Recovery of Stolen Checks Act

What this bill does

  • The Treasury Department must create a system for taxpayers to get stolen or lost tax refund checks replaced via direct deposit instead of paper.
  • This affects taxpayers whose federal tax refund checks have been lost or stolen.
  • The change takes effect once Treasury establishes the procedures with no specified cost.

  2. 02

    What safeguards should Treasury implement to verify a taxpayer's identity before depositing a replacement refund to a new account?

  3. 03

    Could directing stolen refunds to new bank accounts create risks for taxpayers whose identity information has been compromised?
