The Effingham County State's Attorney
Bad Check Restitution Program
works because...


  • Bad check reports are easy to file and follow-up action is prompt.
  • Upon recovery, 100 percent of the face value of the check is returned to the victim.
  • There is no minimum dollar restriction.
  • Bad check offenders must complete an eight-hour educational class at their own expense.
  • The program operates at no cost to the county or the taxpayers.
