 Louisiana State Treasurer Released a Statement

Louisiana State Treasurer John M. Schroder said, “These are real checks from the Louisiana Department of Treasury, so we want you to cash them. Unfortunately, about 20 percent of the checks we mail out each year as part of this match go uncashed, either because people have changed addresses, or because they don’t believe the check is real. We want the money to go in people’s bank accounts, not get returned to Treasury. They’re real checks, and it’s your money.”
