(SALEM, Ore.) - If you’re waiting for a kicker check that never came, it may have been returned to the Oregon Department of Revenue because it couldn’t find you.

The U.S. Postal Service returned 25,000 undeliverable kicker checks to the department. So far, 12,000 of those have been claimed by their rightful owners.

“We still have almost 13,000 unclaimed kicker checks,” said Financial Manager Ken Ross. “We’ve posted on our website the names of people whose kicker checks are waiting for them.”

The checks total $2.8 million.

The Oregon Department of Revenue keeps unclaimed refunds for two years. After that, Oregon law requires that the funds be transferred to the Oregon Department of State Lands’ unclaimed property program. You can get your refund after two years from the state lands department.

Check to see if your name is on the list, download an unclaimed refund request form, or call 1-800-356-4222 (toll-free from an Oregon prefix); 503-378-4988 (Salem and outside Oregon) for help. The Oregon Department of Revenue’s call center is very busy right now, so you may get a busy signal or be on hold.
