Are you due a California State tax refund, lottery winnings, or unclaimed property and the check didn’t come? You’ve been “Intercepted “...on the goal line!

If you received an Intercept Funds Notice
Did you have your money taken? If you owe money to a government agency, that agency partners with us (Franchise Tax Board) to collect it. We will:
Redirect your money
Pay the agency you owe
Send you a letter about it (Intercept Funds Notice)
We redirect your money from:
Tax refund
Lottery winnings
Unclaimed property
These agencies can include city and county governments, schools, and other state agencies.
Questions or issues
If we only redirected part of your refund, we’ll mail you a check for the rest.
If you already paid the agency, that agency will pay you back. Allow up to 6 months for agency processing.
If you want to know why we can do this, review the intercept program authority.
If you still have questions or do not think you owe this debt:
Contact the agency on your Intercept Funds Notice (we do not have account details).
