Unclaimed property – what’s new and what you should have always known
States are ramping up their enforcement of unclaimed property laws to generate revenue and ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse to get out of penalties imposed at $100 per day for failure to escheat unclaimed property.
Businesses of all types and sizes are responsible for reporting property on their books owed to individuals (e.g., uncashed paychecks) or other businesses. And even though every state has its own requirements, deadlines and penalties, many companies are unaware of them and the amnesty programs that could help bring them into compliance.
