§ 138 Refunds For Invalid Payments

• •If you pay for something like a license or permit but don't get it, you can ask for your money back.
• •If you accidentally pay too much or pay twice, you can get the extra money back.
• •The government can give your money back if they can't legally give you what you paid for.

You pay $50 for a fishing license online, but the website glitches and charges you twice, so you pay $100.

You can ask the government to give you back the extra $50 because you paid by mistake.
