§ 1319.Deposit and Credit of Rents, Interest, Dividends Or Other Income Received and Held By State

Unlike the investment income Section 1318 sends to the General Fund, this section covers a different kind of income: rents, interest, dividends, or other income or increment that specific real or personal property generates while the state holds it in the Unclaimed Property Fund. That income follows the property, not the state's general treasury.

On the Controller's order, that income goes back into the Unclaimed Property Fund and gets credited to the same account, under Chapter 2, that the underlying property is held in. It is then held for the benefit of whoever is entitled to the property that produced it, or their successors, and can be claimed the same way the property itself can be claimed. But the section puts a firm outer limit on that right: the income cannot stay available for claim and payment any longer than the underlying property itself remains available under this Title. Once the property's own claim window closes, so does the window for the income it produced.
