Sec. 248.6  Recovery of original check.

    (a) If the claimant recovers an original check after he has 
furnished advice of non-receipt but before receipt of a substitute 
check, he should immediately notify the disbursing officer or agency 
concerned and hold the check until receipt of advice from the disbursing 
officer or agency concerned regarding the negotiability of such original 
check.
    (b) In the event the substitute check has been received prior to the 
recovery of the original check, the original check should be returned 
immediately to the disbursing officer.
    (c) Under no circumstances should the claimant attempt to cash both 
the original and substitute check.
