Unclaimed property: $119K and counting
|
So far in 2026, my office has helped local residents get more than $119K of their own money back from the state's Unclaimed Property Program. The money often comes from closed bank accounts, insurers, utilities and medical facilities, and it's often unclaimed because of misspelled names or incorrect addresses. In fact, one in ten Pennsylvanians has unclaimed property, with the average claim exceeding $1,000.
To see if you have unclaimed property waiting for you, visit here. And feel free to reach out to my staff for help. My staff makes calls weekly to constituents who have unclaimed property, and we are happy to assist you in getting that money!
