Start Your Unclaimed Property
Reporting Process Now

Mostly, it's money. Because unclaimed property results from normal business operations, most businesses do have unclaimed property. Examples include: unclaimed wages, commissions or other benefit distributions to employees; overpayments by customers or prepayments or refunds due to customers. Financial institutions, insurance companies and corporations must also report unclaimed bank accounts, contents of safe deposit boxes, insurance benefits, security deposits, stock dividends, traveler’s checks and other funds to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer.

For detailed information on Unclaimed Property please visit the DC Office of the Chief Financial Officer's website at https://dc.findyourunclaimedproperty.com/# and click on the Reporting Property section.
Step 1: 
Review your records for unclaimed property as defined by the state & dormancy period.
  • Payroll checks issued 07/01/19 – 06/30/20
  • Patient account balances issued 07/01/17 - 06/30/18
  • Uncashed refund checks issued 07/01/17 – 06/30/18

Our office will conduct a review of your records for any checks marked “Void” in our system. If we identify any applicable voids, the list will be sent to you no later than July 1st to compare to your records. Be sure to confirm these were not reissued or credited to the patient’s account before adding them to your list.
Step 2: 
Attempt to locate the owners by sending a due diligence notice.
  • Send between 07/01/21 and 09/01/21.
Step 3: 
Submit report online and make payment.
  • All amounts must be remitted to the state.
  • If known, have the following information available when reporting: Owners full name, last known address, social security number (SSN) or federal tax identification number (FEIN), amount owed & date of last transaction.
