DHS/USICE RIN: 1653-AA20 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Technical Amendments Relating to Immigration Surety Bonds 
Abstract: When DHS receives a cash bond, it is deposited into an account where interest is accumulated from the date the bond is posted, to the date that the bond is paid out. If a cancelled cash bond is unclaimed after a year, the principal and any accumulated interest are transferred to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, account entitled ‘‘Payments of Unclaimed Moneys of Individuals Whose Whereabouts are Unknown.’’ This regulation concerns the computation of interest on cash bonds. It does not mention the Treasury Department requirement concerning the disposition of funds from unclaimed cash bonds. Since some cash bonds obligors have questioned the curtailment of interest a year after the bond is cancelled, we believe that this regulation should include language that clarifies the Department’s requirement to comply with Treasury’s regulation.
