If a patient at the center is discharged and leaves funds at the center, the funds shall be turned over to the administrator and deposited in the unclaimed funds account. Notice of the unclaimed funds shall be provided to the patient by first class mail, at the last known address of the patient. The funds shall be mailed to the patient by check if requested. If the funds are not claimed within one year from the date of deposit to the unclaimed funds account, the funds shall escheat to the center's patient benefit fund.
