The running of the three-year period of abandonment ceases immediately upon the occurrence of a communication referred to in R.S. 46:30B-31. If any future dividend, distribution, or other sum payable to the owner as a result of the interest is subsequently not claimed by the owner, a new period of abandonment commences and relates back to the time a subsequent dividend, distribution, or other sum became due and payable.
