the government's $0.02 worth

[Phillip Allen]

I just got a check from the treasury for $0.02... no explaination
it's laying right here and causing me to wonder just what it cost tax payers to get this check to me and how much more it will cost if I actually cash or deposit it?

[wardd]

send it to me

[tigerregis]

Frame it. It'll be a reminder of Bureaucrats in action.

[Gordon Bartlett]

Yes, it could be that. Or it could be merely a symptom of efficiency in action. My guess is an explanation would cost more than the check itself. Having someone examine each refund and make a determination regarding its worthiness would certainly cost more. By the way, if you are really interested in reducing waste, you had better cash the check in a timely manner. Otherwise they'll be compelled to send a couple agents out to your house to make sure you're okay.

Sign it over to "Julia" that poor gal has only got Bama money!

[S.V. Airlie]

It shouldn't cost you anything but the gas used and the time spent cashing it. I've received a lot of checks in the past; overpayments etc., the sender just hopes you don't cash it.

You could return it with instructions to apply the balance to pay down the national debt.

I must say, that does appeal

[Tom Montgomery]

Here's hoping you drive to your local bank and cash it.

2nd best: Invest in a first class postage stamp to return the check to the U.S. Treasury.

[Tom Montgomery]

I think the U.S. federal government has been monitoring your WBF posts and decided to taunt you.

Dunno how it works in the States, but here, if you post a letter without a stamp or return address, the recipient has to pay the postage to get the letter.
