# TL;DR

After [BIP-925](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-925-unwind-timeless-ve8020-bal-grant/7095), the inactive [Timeless VeBalGrant](https://etherscan.io/address/0x89f67f3054bfd662971854190dbc18dcabb416f6) still has approximately **10,286.807445 USDC** in unclaimed FeeDistributor rewards. These were not recovered by BIP-925 because `withdrawBalances()` only handles BAL and WETH.

The DAO multisig can recover the USDC by atomically calling `claimFees(FeeDistributor, USDC, DAO, 0)` four times. This is necessary because the grant has accumulated more than 60 weeks of unclaimed USDC, while the FeeDistributor settles at most 20 weeks per call.

Thanks for spotting this Fabio, agreed. To me it makes total sense not to waste these forgotten funds.
