On occasion the Society issues a check to an individual, and the payee decides not to cash it, thinking that it will be viewed as a donation to the worldwide work. Please be advised that after a period of time, such checks are viewed as unclaimed property, and the funds have to be turned over to the State. If a person wants to donate the amount of the check, he should return the check to the Society with a brief note stating that it is to be considered as a donation.
looks like they won't let one red cent slip through their fingers
If you are in California, the link to search for unclaimed property is above.
When i left bethel my account balance, (from the monthly allowance) was like 200$. At my exit interview i signed a slip of paper giving it to them as a contribution. I guess the person who checked me out didn't file it correctly because every month for the next 6 i got a letter asking what i would like to do with the balance. Being a procrastinator i left it alone until they stopped sending the letters. I wonder if i could claim it now....
