The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection is proposing to add new rules to create an “unclaimed restitution fund” that will allow consumers and workers owed restitution, by a delinquent or otherwise nonresponsive respondent, to be paid from a fund controlled and administered by DCWP and the New York City Comptroller and funded with unclaimed money from DCWP enforcement actions.
