Chapter 9 - UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
Rule 781-9.30 - Claims by holders for owner reimbursements
Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 19, March 20, 2024
A holder may request payment from the division under the circumstances set forth below. Regardless of whether the holder is represented by a bona fide third party, the claim must be signed by an officer of the holder. A third party may not act on behalf of the holder to request payment from the division unless such third party provides evidence satisfactory to the division in its sole discretion that such third party is acting as the holder's bona fide representative through general power of attorney, court designation, or similar legal authority. The division may, in its sole discretion, establish a policy which allows a transfer agent or a reporting agent to sign a holder reimbursement subject to meeting all the requirements set forth by the division under that policy. The establishment of such a policy shall not be construed as creating any right or entitlement of transfer or of reporting agents to sign holder reimbursements, and any such policy may be rescinded or modified at any time at the sole discretion of the division.
(1) The holder has made payment to the apparent owner and filed proof of payment with the division for such a reclaimed asset. As a condition precedent to receiving reimbursement from the division, the holder shall assume liability for the reclaimed assets and indemnify and hold harmless the division from all future claims related to the reclaimed assets.
(2) The holder directs the division to make payment directly to the rightful owner. The holder shall assume liability for the claimed asset and indemnify and hold harmless the division from all future claims related to the claimed asset.
(3) The holder reported the asset in error. As a condition for receiving reimbursement from the division, the holder shall assume liability for the reclaimed asset and indemnify and hold harmless the division from all future claims related to the reclaimed asset. This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 556.19.
