# §115.820. May OTFM transfer money in a returned per capita account to a tribal account?


Funds in a returned per capita account will not automatically be returned to a tribe. However, a tribe may apply under [25 U.S.C. 164](/usc/25/164.md) and Public Law 87-283, 75 Stat. 584 (1961), to have the unclaimed per capita funds transferred to its account for the tribe's use after six years have passed from the date of distribution.
