(215 ILCS 5/210) (from Ch. 73, par. 822)
Sec. 210. Distribution of assets; priorities; unpaid dividends.
(1) Any time after the last day fixed for the filing of proofs of claims in the liquidation of a company, the court may, upon the application of the Director authorize him to declare out of the funds remaining in his hands, one or more dividends upon all claims allowed in accordance with the priorities established in Section 205.
(2) Where there has been no adjudication of insolvency, the Director shall pay all allowed claims in full in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 205. The director shall not be chargeable for any assets so distributed to any claimant who has failed to file a proper proof of claim before such distribution has been made.
(3) When subsequent to an adjudication of insolvency, pursuant to Section 208, a surplus is found to exist after the payment in full of all allowed claims falling within the priorities set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of subsection (1) of Section 205 and which have been duly filed prior to the last date fixed for the filing thereof, and after the setting aside of a reserve for all additional costs and expenses of the proceeding, the court shall set a new date for the filing of claims. After the expiration of the new date, all allowed claims filed on or before said new date together with all previously allowed claims falling within the priorities set forth in paragraphs (h) and (i) of subsection (1) of Section 205 shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 205.
(4) Dividends remaining unclaimed or unpaid in the hands of the Director for 6 months after the final order of distribution may be by him deposited in one or more savings and loan associations, State or national banks, trust companies or savings banks to the credit of the Director, whomsoever he may be, in trust for the person entitled thereto, but no such person shall be entitled to any interest upon such deposit. All such deposits shall be entitled to priority of payment in case of the insolvency or voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the depositary on an equality with any other priority given by the banking law. Any such funds together with interest, if any, paid or credited thereon, remaining and unclaimed in the hands of the Director in Trust after 2 years shall be presumed abandoned and reported and delivered to the State Treasurer and become subject to the provisions of the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act.
