“We encourage people to check their names on our website a couple of times a year, as it only takes a minute to see if you have any unclaimed property,” Treasurer Loftis added. “It's a free service, and you can often receive your funds in a few weeks.”
Examples of the types of property covered by the program include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance proceeds and forgotten utility deposits. The State Treasurer’s Office serves as custodian of unclaimed funds and holds them until claimed by the rightful owners.
