To claim of share dividends, confirm that you are a shareholder of record on the company's permitted record date. Dividends are sent to shareholders by direct deposit, mailed checks, or dividend reinvestment plans. If you have not received your dividends yet, please contact the company's investor relations or your broker. To claim dividends correctly and quickly, submit accurate and up-to-date contact information. Understanding the payout schedule and keeping accurate paperwork makes the claiming process operate more easily.
