      CASH IN LIEU CHECKS
Cash in Lieu checks must be sent in as soon as you receive them. We can not process stale dated checks. All checks must include your name, social security number, the period and how many hours it is for. Keep in mind that checks sent in after the third week of redemption can not be included in your stamp book. You will receive the stamps in the mail and have to turn them in the next period.
      REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES
Stamps can be refunded or exchanged for the next series when a period is over. Please send in the stamps with an order form filled out stating what you are returning and another order if you are exchanging. Please allow a reasonable amount of time for these transactions to be returned to you. Keep in mind that they do take time and therefore can not be done over the window.
      LOST OR STOLEN STAMPS
For Members:
If your stamps are lost or stolen, please call the contractor who issued them to you for replacement. It is important to keep a record of what stamps you were given. A good idea would be to photocopy your stamps after you receive them.
      For Contractors:
If stamps are lost or stolen, we can replace them. Please fax us a letter on your company letterhead with the stamp numbers that need to be replaced. It is important that you keep a record of the stamps you receive and who they are issued to. We can only replace stamps if we have the serial number.
      REDEMPTION
All books must be received within the Redemption month. Late books will not be accepted. Please keep in mind that the first day of Redemption also starts the first day of the new stamp period. Make sure the Contractors give you the correct stamps. DO NOT include the stamps from the new period in your book, they will be mailed back to you. If you include cash in lieu checks in your book, we will place the stamps in your book when the checks are processed. If the checks are not certified, we will hold your book for 10 business days before we can process it. If we receive checks after the third week, they will NOT be included in your book.
      Keep in mind that mailing your book Certified or Registered does not guarantee that your book will get here any faster, sometimes it takes longer for these books to reach the office. Books must be IN THE OFFICE by the last day of the Redemption month. Books that are postmarked before the end of the month, but received after the end of the month WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
      **It is a good idea to photocopy all of the pages in your book in case anything happens to it. If you have a record of the stamps in it, they can be replaced.
