Did you know that Nevada law limits when a dormancy charge may be deducted from unclaimed property?

A dormancy charge is a fee that a holder may deduct from property presumed abandoned, but only when specific requirements are met under Nevada law.

To assess a dormancy charge:
• It must be authorized in a valid written contract.
• It must be applied consistently and not routinely reversed.
• It cannot exceed $5 per month.
• It may only be charged between the date the property is presumed abandoned and the reporting deadline.

Understanding these requirements helps ensure holders remain compliant with Nevada's unclaimed property laws.

Solicitar ayuda financiera para la universidad comienza con un paso importante: completar la FAFSA. 🎓

La Solicitud Gratuita de Ayuda Federal para Estudiantes (FAFSA) es la puerta de entrada a programas de ayuda financiera federal, y muchas instituciones también la utilizan para determinar si calificas para becas y otras oportunidades de financiamiento.

Recuerda:
• La FAFSA abre cada año el 1 de octubre para el siguiente ciclo académico.
• Debes presentar una nueva solicitud cada año que desees recibir ayuda financiera.
• La FAFSA siempre es gratuita. Si un sitio web te cobra por completarla, podría tratarse de una estafa.
