(1)(a) Stock or other equity interest in a business association is presumed unclaimed 3 years after the earliest of:1. The date of the most recent dividend, stock split, or other distribution unclaimed by the apparent owner;
2. The date of a statement of account or other notification or communication that was returned as undeliverable; or
3. The date the holder discontinued mailings, notifications, or communications to the apparent owner.
(b) Unmatured or unredeemed debt, other than a bearer bond or an original issue discount bond, is presumed unclaimed 3 years after the date of the most recent interest payment unclaimed by the owner.
(c) Matured or redeemed debt is presumed unclaimed 3 years after the date of maturity or redemption.
(d) At the time property is presumed unclaimed under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), any other property right accrued or accruing to the owner as a result of the property interest and not previously presumed unclaimed is also presumed unclaimed.
(2) The running of such 3-year period ceases if the person:(a)1. Communicates in writing with the association or its agent regarding the interest or a dividend, distribution, or other sum payable as a result of the interest; or
