Conn. Gen. Stat. § 3-62g: Liability of state.

Upon the payment or delivery of money or other property to the Treasurer under sections 3-62b to 3-62g, inclusive, the state shall assume custody and shall be responsible for all claims thereto. If, after payment or delivery to the Treasurer, any officer, department or agency of the federal government is compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction to make a second payment, the Treasurer, upon proof thereof, shall refund the amount of such second payment not in excess of the amount paid over to him under said sections, provided the federal government shall give notice to the Treasurer of the pendency of any such proceeding seeking payment of funds already turned over to the Treasurer.
