Mo. Code Regs. tit. 20 § 1100-2.090

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 24, December 16, 2024
Section 20 CSR 1100-2.090 - Unlocatable Members: Small Share Balances: How to Handle

PURPOSE: This rule gives the procedures for handling inactive accounts of unlocatable members (see sections 370.260.2. and 370.340, RSMo, for statutory requirements on expelling or withdrawing member accounts).

(1) Where a member of a credit union cannot be located, and when no contact has been had with the member, and when the member has a small share balance with the credit union, even though the credit union may elect to group the small balances in a single account for bookkeeping purposes, as long as the credit union has not expelled that member pursuant to the provisions of section 370.340, RSMo, the shares remain the property of the member and dividends are to be credited to the account.
(2) When nonlocatable members are expelled pursuant to state law, share balances in those members' accounts shall be transferred to an unlocatable member accounts payable account and no further dividend shall be credited to these accounts; however, a record shall be maintained in the event the member later makes a claim upon the credit union for the member's share balance, which shall be paid to the member. All credit unions are required to file an annual report and remit all unclaimed property to Missouri per Chapter 470, RSMo.
(3) If the total of unlocated member shares exceeds ten percent (10%) of the regular reserve fund, the financial statement will be footnoted to show the entire amount of unlo-cated shares as a potential liability.
(4) When unlocated member share accounts exist and they are grouped together into a single account for bookkeeping purposes, this account should be labeled Unlocatable Member Shares and it should be listed separately on the monthly financial statement, but combined with the regular share accounts on the annual report; and this account shall be credited with dividends each dividend period.
(5) Attempts to locate members carried as unlocatable pursuant to this rule may be made by using a locator service under the provision of section 370.260.2., RSMo.
