State Treasurer creates e-mail for questions about delayed checks

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ The state treasurer's office now has an e-mail account for people who haven't yet received their income tax rebate checks.

1.2-million checks of $45 per taxpayer or $90 for couples who filed jointly were mailed last month, but many people say they haven't received them.

A telephone line was set up to take calls about the checks, but has been overwhelmed by the number of callers.

Residents can now send an e-mail rebate@treasurer.ok.gov. The e-mail should include the person's name, a daytime telephone number and the question or problem.

The telephone number 405-522-3333, will also still be answered.
