Iowa Code Title XIV. Property [Chs. 555-594A] § 556.19. Procedure for abandoned property paid or delivered

1. Any person claiming an interest in any property delivered to the state under this chapter may file a claim thereto or to the proceeds from the sale thereof on the form prescribed by the state treasurer.

2. Notwithstanding subsection 1, the treasurer of state may waive the requirement of a claim form and pay or deliver property directly to a person if the person receiving the property or payment is shown to be the apparent owner included on a report filed under section 556.11 and the treasurer of state reasonably believes the person is entitled to receive the property or payment.  The treasurer of state may use state tax information to assist in identifying the owner of property that has been abandoned as provided under this chapter or in verifying a claim filed under this chapter.
