Rule 67.2. Withdrawal of a Deposit Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 67
(a) Withdrawal of Funds. No money deposited shall be withdrawn except by order of the Court. Any person seeking withdrawal of money that was deposited in an interest-bearing account or instrument as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 67, shall file a motion seeking withdrawal of the funds and shall provide separately, under seal, a completed IRS Form W-9–Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification for the ultimate recipient of the funds. The form shall be forwarded by the Court directly to the institution holding the money, along with the pertinent Court order disbursing the funds.
(b) Unclaimed Funds. In every case in which the right to withdraw money deposited in court has been adjudicated or is not in dispute and such money has remained so deposited for at least five years unclaimed by the person entitled thereto, the Court shall cause such money to be deposited into the Unclaimed Fund of the United States Treasury in the name and to the credit of the person to whom it is entitled. Any claimant entitled to any such money may, thereafter, on petition to the Court and upon notice to the United States Attorney and full proof of the right thereto, obtain an order directing the Court to pay such money.
