GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

NATURE OF UNCLAIMED PROPERTY: Oregon Revised Statutes 098.302 through .992 require all

businesses and others (Holders) to review their records each year to determine if they hold funds,

assets, securities or other properties that have remained unclaimed for the required dormancy period,

and to make an annual report of their findings.

DUE DILIGENCE: The statute requires all holders to notify, in writing, the apparent owner(s) of

accounts with a value of $100 or more before remittance of their property to the Department. This

should be done as soon as it is apparent the account is dormant or unclaimed, but not less than 60

days prior to filing/remittance. Oregon attempts to find owners through the use of a credit bureau,

newspaper notices, the Internet, or other methods.

NEGATIVE REPORTS (NO PROPERTY TO REPORT AT THIS TIME) ARE REQUIRED ONLY IF:

1) This is your company’s first report to Oregon, 2) There are changes in the information requested

on Form 1A, or 3) As required by audit findings.
