(a) A holder that pays money to the treasurer under this part may claim reimbursement from the treasurer of the amount paid if the holder:
(1) Paid the money in error; or
(2) After paying the money to the treasurer, paid the money to a person the holder reasonably believed to be entitled to the money.
(b) If a claim for reimbursement under subsection (a) is made for a payment made on a negotiable instrument, including a traveler's check, money order, or similar instrument, the holder shall submit proof that the instrument was presented and that payment was made to a person the holder reasonably believed to be entitled to payment. The holder may claim reimbursement even if the payment was made to a person whose claim was made after expiration of a period of limitation on the owner's right to receive or recover property, whether specified by contract, statute, or court order.
(c) If a holder is reimbursed by the treasurer under subdivision (a)(2), the holder may also submit a claim to recover from the treasurer dividends, interest, or other increments under § 66-29-137 that would have been paid to the owner, if the money had been claimed from the treasurer by the owner to the extent that such dividends, interest, or increments were paid by the holder to the owner.
(d) A holder that delivers property other than money to the treasurer under this part may claim the property in the possession of the treasurer by filing a claim under § 66-29-152 together with evidence sufficient to establish that the apparent owner has claimed the property from the holder or that the property was delivered by the holder to the treasurer in error.
(e) The treasurer may determine that an affidavit submitted by a holder is evidence sufficient to establish that the holder is entitled to reimbursement or to recover property under this section.
(f) A holder is not required to pay a fee or other charge for reimbursement or return of property under this section.
(g) Not later than ninety (90) days after receiving a claim from a holder under subsection (a) or (c), the treasurer shall determine whether to approve or deny the claim and notify the holder of the treasurer's determination.
