| • Reporting Deadline: Indiana does not have any plans to grant automatic extensions.

| Update to Due Diligence Requirements for 2020 Unclaimed Property Reporting: Section 74.1011 of Texas Property Code requires holders to provide a due diligence notice to owners that their property may be reported to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts as unclaimed property. For the 2020 report year, exceptions are being allowed in cases where holders are unable to complete the notification by mail and by the deadline. Updates to the requirements of Section 74.1011 for the 2020 report year are: • Holders having trouble meeting due diligence requirements due to COVID-19 are still required to provide effective notice to owners prior to reporting the property but now have additional time to send notice to owners. • Holders may now also use alternative means including electronic mail, telephone or other reasonable means to provide the notice to owners. • This suspension does not waive the notice requirement before reporting unclaimed property. • Holders must allow owners a reasonable amount of time to respond to the notification prior to reporting the property. If the holder will not be able to provide effective notice to owners before the July 1, 2020, due date, the holder can request a waiver of penalty and/or interest for the properties due for the 2020 report. To submit the request or ask any questions on the due diligence suspension, please contact the Holder Education and Reporting section at up.holder@cpa.texas.gov. The state has no plans at this time to extend the July 1 reporting deadline. Texas does not have the authority to automatically extend the reporting deadline. However, waivers of penalty and/or interest assessments for property delivered late will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Foreign Property Owner Due Diligence: While Texas understands the suspension of mail service to certain countries may inadvertently result in some properties being reported as unclaimed property because an owner was not able to receive notice, the state does not have the authority to change or suspend the mailing requirement. Safe Deposit Boxes: Texas understands the concerns related to the remittance of tangible property and would expect that holders still report tangible property by the filing deadline, July 1. However, Texas will not schedule the delivery of any tangible property until the current situation improves. | https://claimittexas.org/app/what-is-ucp | 05/22/20 11:41 AM | |||
