Reduction of Dormancy Period for Payroll Checks in Missouri

Missouri House Bill 1075 introduced some changes to unclaimed property filing for the state. The change that has the biggest impact is that payroll checks, property type MS01, are now reportable after 3 years of dormancy. This was reduced from a 5 year dormancy period. This change is effective January 1, 2015.
