Treasury Working To Return Unclaimed Property To People In Beaver Co.

BEAVER, Pa. (KDKA) -- People and businesses in Beaver County may have recently seen their names among those owed some of the $2.5 billion in unclaimed property available statewide, State Treasurer Timothy A. Reese said Monday.

The Pennsylvania Treasury receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property, items such as abandoned bank accounts, forgotten stocks, uncashed checks and contents of safety deposit boxes.

"In 2015, the Treasury collected and returned more unclaimed property than any other year," Treasurer Reese said. "About one in ten Pennsylvanians has unclaimed property and our goal is to reconnect as many people as possible with property and funds that are rightfully theirs. Our annual newspaper ad campaign is an important way to reach out."
