§ 1562.Dividends, Interest Or Other Increments Realized Or Accruing Prior to Liquidation Or Conversion Into Money

Property that isn't cash, like shares or other securities, can generate its own dividends or interest while the Controller holds it, and Section 1562 decides who benefits from that. Any dividends, interest, or other increments realized or accruing on such property, at or before its liquidation or conversion into money, get credited to the owner's account once received. Beyond those specific credited amounts, the owner has no right to any further income or increment on money or property held under this chapter.

The section then routes the fund's broader investment earnings elsewhere. All interest received and other income the Controller derives from investing money deposited in the Unclaimed Property Fund gets transferred, on the Controller's order, to the General Fund rather than staying with individual owners' accounts. The distinction is a narrow one: increments tied directly to a specific piece of property before it's converted to cash go to that property's owner, while the Fund's own investment returns support the General Fund instead.
