How to Apply

Potential victims should prepare to participate in the program by obtaining a Check Complaint Form. DRR will mail these to you or you may download the form below. The victim must fill out a Check Complaint Form for each bad check written. Victims must forward the original bad check along with a completed Check Complaint Form to the program immediately after the bank has returned the check. Incomplete forms will be returned and will cause a delay in processing the case.

Once the victim has submitted a bad check to the program, restitution cannot be accepted from anyone other than the DRR.
Some words to help when filling out Check Complaint Form:

Victim: the person who received the bad check (either an individual or a business)
Suspect: the person who wrote/passed the bad check (the check signer)
