Article summary

Interface Description

Section 17.26, Florida Statutes (F.S.), provides for the cancelation of state warrants not presented for payment within one year. State warrants issued by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) that are not presented for payment by the end of the twelfth month after originally issued may be canceled. When canceled, funds are transferred to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund, or back to the fund that issued the warrant. Under Section 17.26(3), F.S., the Governor is authorized to certify that federal funds are not to be transferred to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund. Warrants canceled from federal funds are exempt from treatment as unclaimed property; federal fund disbursements are returned to the fund they were issued from.

Escheatment is the process of turning over unclaimed or abandoned property by canceling the warrant and transferring the funds to the Department of Financial Services (DFS), Division of Unclaimed Property.

Within the DFS, Division of Unclaimed Property, records of the canceled payments are included in the Holder Reporting Online System, which can be accessed at https://www.fltreasurehunt.gov/.

Unclaimed Property Management Information System is used by Enterprise – DFS/Division of Unclaimed Property to load escheated property to https://www.fltreasurehunt.gov/.

Currently, the DFS, Division of Accounting and Auditing (A&A), Bureau of Vendor Relations (BVR) manages a monthly scheduled process in Central Florida Accounting and Information Resource (FLAIR) system that cancels stale-dated warrants and transfers the funds.

Florida PALM APE007 Fund Based Escheatment extension will identify eligible warrants for Escheatment or cancellation based on the Fund and Budget Entity ChartField combination to automatically exclude funds that should receive outstanding payments back to the originating fund, rather than escheating them and sending funds to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund.

During the process, 12-month-old outstanding warrants are identified and canceled. Any canceled warrants identified as exempt from transfer to Unclaimed Property via APE007 are canceled and the funds revert to the originating fund. Those funds are returned to the applicable trust fund and are considered in future grant drawdowns. Any canceled warrants identified as not being exempt from transfer to Unclaimed Property are canceled and escheated. The funds are sent to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund and included within the API023 Outbound Stale Payments File to Unclaimed Property. APR140 Funds Transferred to Unclaimed Property and Funds Exempt from Unclaimed Property Report lists all payments transferred to Unclaimed Property due to a stale date.

Florida PALM APR018 Outstanding Warrants Report lists Stale dated outstanding warrants, expired, or about to expire by specified date range to include warrant type, chart of account ChartFields, payment transaction data, and business unit.
