Refunds on the Way

Dominion Virginia Power is refunding more than $78 million dollars that customers overpaid over the past couple of years.  The State Corporation Commission reports that refund checks will average about $17.00.

Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service reports it has $153 million dollars in unclaimed refund checks.  Agency officials said most of the refunds could not be delivered to taxpayers because they had filed returns with incorrect addresses.
