Supreme Court of the United States

Delaware v. Pennsylvania

February 28, 2023598 U.S. 115

Summary

The Court held that MoneyGram’s Agent Checks and Teller’s Checks are “other similar written instruments” under the Federal Disposition Act and therefore escheat to the State of purchase, rejecting Delaware’s claim that they are excluded as “third‑party bank checks.” The Court overruled Delaware’s exceptions to the Special Master’s first report and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
