Recovery of Stolen Checks Act

What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Treasury Department to let taxpayers choose direct deposit for replacement tax refunds if their original paper check was lost or stolen.
  • This affects taxpayers whose federal tax refund checks go missing in the mail.
  • The change takes effect once Treasury establishes the new procedures with no specified cost.

    What implementation costs might the Treasury Department face establishing direct deposit procedures, and who ultimately bears those expenses?

  3. 03

    Could direct deposit requirements create barriers for unbanked or underbanked taxpayers who lack access to deposit accounts?
