A little-known feature on the Canada Revenue Agency's website is netting some Canadians hundreds of dollars they are owed from uncashed government cheques. The windfall ended up on people's radar thanks to a Reddit post by user hdrons, and a tweet by Toronto Maple Leafs fan account @3rdperiodsuits:FYI

My Account on the CRA website has a section of “uncashed cheques”. —@3rdPeriodSuitsTwitter users very quickly discovered they were owed money from things like GST payments or unclaimed tax returns:Just found $700 from 2011! Adam Lesco told CBC News that he discovered four uncashed cheques dating back to 2010, totalling $244. Jeremy Crowe, the director of hockey analytics for OHL franchise the Mississauga Steelheads, found out he was owed just under $200 from two uncashed cheques.
