STATE TREASURY: IT’S SIMPLE TO CHECK FOR UNCLAIMED PROPERTY

Pennsylvania Treasury officials say about one in ten state residents has unclaimed property. It can come from several sources including closed bank accounts, uncashed checks, lost stocks and bonds and forgotten safe deposit boxes, among other sources.  The officials encourage you to look to see if you’re in the database and say it’s easy to do. Go to the state treasury’s website, select their unclaimed property page and put in your information. There’s also an 800-number to call to check.  There is no charge to claim unclaimed property.
