(b) Inactive accounts.--A share account may be transferred to a special account if, for at least five years, there has been no activity by the owner of the account and all written communications from the credit union to the owner of the account have been returned to the credit union with no forwarding address. After the transfer, the credit union may cease paying dividends on the transferred account and may cease sending notices to the owner. A member whose account has been transferred may reclaim the funds from the credit union at any time prior to the time the account is escheated. After escheat, reclaiming is governed by Article XIII.1 of the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code.
