Create West Virginia ReportReporting to West Virginia
The West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office requires holders to file annual unclaimed property reports to reunite owners with their lost assets. For most business entities, the report is due by November 1st, covering the fiscal year ending June 30th. Life insurance companies must file by May 1st. EscheatFix offers a privacy-centric solution for CPAs to validate and convert holder data into the compliant NAUPA II or NAUPA III XML formats. While our validation tools are free to use, the final conversion and report generation is a paid service.

West Virginia Reporting Specifics
West Virginia's unclaimed property statutes generally enforce a 5-year dormancy period for most banking and investment properties, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and securities. However, holders must be attentive to accelerated timelines: unpaid wages, utility deposits, and dissolution proceeds become reportable after just 1 year. Official bank checks and life insurance proceeds have a 3-year dormancy period, while non-bank money orders carry a 7-year timeframe.
