§ 11484 Refund Transfer Process

This law says that when a refund is owed and the money is sitting in the State Treasury, the Controller must move that money to the department director so the refund can be paid, but only after the department files a claim.

Key Takeaways

•Refund money held in the Treasury must be moved before it can be paid out.
•The department has to file a claim to start the transfer.
•The Controller does the transfer, and the department director actually pays the refund.

Example

A state health department accidentally overpaid a contractor and the extra $5,000 is sitting in the State Treasury.

The health department files a claim asking for the $5,000 back. The Controller then takes the $5,000 out of the Treasury and gives it to the health department director, who writes a check to return the money to the contractor.

If any money that is to be refunded has been deposited in the State Treasury, the Controller, upon receipt of a claim that is filed by the department, shall transfer that amount from the fund to which the money is credited to the director for payment of the refund. (Added by Stats. 1999, Ch. 609, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2000.)
