In the state of New York, how long does a checking account go before declared inactive?

How long between activity– deposits, transfers, or withdrawals– can an account go before being declared inactive and thereafter absorbed by the state? What remedies are there for the account holder once the account is taken by the state?

    Depends on the bank, usually 45-60 days.

    After no activity for 1 year,they go into a dormant status. After that time,the bank is required to attempt written contact with the customer about this status and encourage activity. Such letters continue and after 3 years the funds go to the state. Banks are required to advertise this in legal notices (no account numbers listed ofcourse)before the monies are given to the state. Should you find that you had an account like this after the fact,go into the bank with a photo id and acct info. Once the bank is satisfied that you are the owner,depending on the time from,they can either refund you via general ledger or give you the proper info on how to claim your funds from the state. The correct term for this is ‘abandoned property’
