What would a member expect if they requested a refund by check?

When a member requests a refund by check, they can expect to receive it within 14 days to 4 weeks. This timeframe accounts for the necessary processing steps involved in issuing a refund. It often includes verification of the request, approval from the appropriate department, and actual mailing time for the check to reach the member's address. This duration ensures that all checks are conducted properly, maintaining the integrity of the refund process.

Other options suggest unrealistic timelines. An instant processing time would be highly unusual due to these required steps, while an 8-day turnaround might not leave adequate time for processing and mailing. Suggesting that a member would never receive a check does not accurately reflect the practices typically associated with refund processes, as checks are a standard method for issuing refunds.
