Summary
Probation staff said the office finished a lengthy process to distribute roughly $17,000 in restitution from unclaimed victim funds dating back to 2005; checks will be mailed after verification letters, covering claims through about 2012.
Mr. Pham from the probation office told the committee the office completed a year‑and‑a‑half effort to process restitution claims from unclaimed victim funds dating back to 2005.
"We're finally able to get our restitution paid out of the unclaimed victim funds," he said, explaining that the office expects to send checks in the next couple of weeks. The available pool is about $17,000, which the office will use to address claims up through roughly 2012; staff will mail verification letters first in case recipients do not want the funds or cannot be located.
Probation officials said they will prioritize payments to people first and then to businesses if funds remain. The committee did not take formal action on the report; this was presented as an operational update.
