Question: I have received my FEE AGREEMENT and information sheet, what do I do now?

 

Awnser: Read Carefully, fill out completely and sign your recovery agreement. The information sheet will detail the documentation you are required to provide. The Required documentation will include (but may not be limited to) a copy of your current identification reflecting your current mailing address and documentation proving your ownership of the account. Please refer to your claim form for the specific documentation required for your particular claim. Mail the ORIGINAL signed FEE AGREEMENT with the required documentation to: Baris Investigations, Inc. 7917 N.W. 83rd Street, Tamarac, Fl. 33321. If you have additional questions, you can call the Claim Department’s TOLL FREE Customer Hotline at 1-800-605-4336.

Question: How Long Does It Take To Get My Money?
 
Awnser: The Department is allotted 90 days from the date it receives your complete claim package to make a determination. Due to the high volume of claims received by the department, the full 90-day period may be required to finalize your claim. This time period may be extended if all of the required documentation is not included with the original claim package. Please read your claim form carefully to ensure you provide all of the necessary documentation. Please note: certain claims may require additional processing time.
Question: How Do I Prove the Account Belongs to Me?
 
Awnser: Each claim form will detail what documentation will be required in order to verify your ownership of the property. Providing your identification alone may not be sufficient. What proof documentation you are asked to submit may vary depending upon what information the company that reported the funds to the department provided about the owner of the account. You may be asked for documentation of your Social Security Number, a past address or proof of your past connection or relationship to the entity that reported the account to the Department. If you are the heir of a deceased account owner, you will also be asked to provide certified copies of official documentation that establishes your entitlement to the property. Examples of unacceptable documentation are: hand written letters, letterhead and business cards, printouts from the Internet and telephone directories.
Question: What Types of Identification are Accepted?
 
Awnser: Florida Law requires claimants to provide a copy of their driver’s license or another form of government-issued photographic identification. If the account has more than one owner and one of the owners is deceased, a certified death certificate for the deceased owner is required in addition to the Identification for the person claiming the account. Note: Each claimant must submit identification and sign the claim form. If you prefer, we have an affidavit you can use instead of supplying a copy of identification. Contact us if you would like that form.
