RMS automatically generates a disposal request after how many days for found property?

• A. 90 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 120 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (A)

Found property is kept for a defined window so owners have a fair chance to claim it, and the agency can manage assets efficiently. In the RMS workflow, once an item is logged as found, the system uses a preset hold period. When that period ends, it automatically creates a disposal request to start the disposition process. Ninety days is a common holding period because it offers a reasonable time for owners to report or locate the item, while not keeping property in limbo too long. Shorter periods can rush owners who need more time to come forward, and longer periods can unnecessarily delay the disposition of unclaimed items. The automatic trigger at ninety days ensures timely, consistent action.
