i have purchased this stock within this calendar year through TD Ameritrade which apparently, according to the guidance provided by state of ny comptroller pdf, does not concern someone in my situation... just my own opinion - link attached to draw your own conclusion....
A Handbook for Reporters of Unclaimed Funds, which is published by the State Comptroller, provides a detailed listing of property type and reporting requirements and is available at the following website:
If contact between a custodian of abandoned property and the legal owner has not occurred during the designated amount of time, the custodian must report the details of its holdings in an annual report submitted to the State Comptroller. The following types of property must be reported as abandoned if no contact has been established with the owner(s) within:
* Five years for bank accounts, money orders, gift certificates, vendor checks, stock and dividends or court funds,
* Three years for insurance policies and property from brokers/dealers, credit balances, payroll checks or bond interest,
* Two years for utility deposits, and
* One year for uncashed, New York State-issued checks.
Current reporting requirements designate the month that specific types of entities must turn over abandoned property to the Comptroller. The month for reporting is generally determined by the type of entity holding the property, although, in some cases (e.g., travelers checks), the month for reporting is determined by the type of abandoned property.
