§ 1303. Dissolution proceedings.

(a) Collection and distribution of assets.--The liquidating trustee or trustees shall proceed in the manner provided by the department to gather the assets, determine the liabilities and distribute the assets of the credit union until its affairs are fully adjusted and wound up. Under this section the department shall set forth the order of the distribution of the assets. The provisions of this section on distribution of assets apply whether the dissolution is voluntary or involuntary.

(b) Proof of claims.--The liquidating trustee or trustees shall notify all creditors and members appearing on the records of the association, by notice sent to or given at the address appearing for such creditor or member on the records or, if no address appears there, at the last known address of the creditor or member, of the amount which the records show to be due such member or creditor. The liquidating trustee or trustees shall also advertise, for three successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation and in a legal newspaper, if any, in the county in which the credit union is located, that the credit union is liquidating pursuant to a plan of voluntary liquidation. The advertisement shall set forth a date not less than 90 days after the date of the first published advertisement before which all creditors or members must present their claims, under oath or affirmation, to the trustee or trustees or be bound by the amount shown on the records of the credit union to be due them. Thereafter, all claims shall be permanently barred.

(c) Limitation period.--Any claim which is rejected or disallowed by the trustee or trustees shall be barred unless an action is brought thereon within 90 days after mailing of the notice of rejection or disallowance.

(d) Transfer possession.--If the department takes possession of the credit union under section 503(c) (relating to regulation by department) and appoints the National Credit Union Administration to liquidate the credit union or take other action deemed appropriate regarding the credit union, then the department shall be deemed to have surrendered jurisdiction of the credit union and the department shall have no liability related to such credit union.
