SCO Summer Newsletter and New Holder Handbook

The State Controllers Office (SCO) has requested that DFI assist them with notifying business and financial institutions of various changes concerning California's Unclaimed Property Program by forwarding the following information to DFI licensees and others that hold unclaimed property:

Dear Holders,

Please take some time to read the 2010 Summer Newsletter regarding the California Unclaimed Property Program.  The newsletter includes information about the Holder Notice Reports and Electronic Remittance Methods.  The newsletter can be found at http://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_rptg_outreach.html.

California also has a new Unclaimed Property Holder Handbook available on the web site.  We hope you find the new reporting instructions helpful, informative, and user-friendly.  The most dramatic change is a shift to one large document that contains all reporting information. http://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_form_rptg.html.
