If the claim is denied the department shall inform the claimant of the reasons for the denial and shall specify what additional evidence is required before the claim will be allowed.

E. Notwithstanding any other maximum time period that is specified in a statute, contract or court order to commence or enforce an action to obtain payment of a claim for monies or recovery of property, a person may file a claim under subsection A of this section within thirty-five years after the final day of the fiscal year in which the department receives the unclaimed property.
