Find Your Money! Townships Owed Unclaimed Property

Each year, the state Treasury Department receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property. Common types of unclaimed property are savings or checking accounts, stocks, dividends, checks that have not been cashed, such as payroll, certificates of deposit, unclaimed insurance benefits, insurance premium refunds, and the like.  

Don’t miss out! Last year, an eastern township received more than $44,073, while a small municipality in western Pennsylvania with fewer than 300 residents was able to recover more than $21,000. Since taking office, Treasurer Stacy Garrity has returned more than $16.5 million to 79 local governments. 

ALERT: There are consultants who will offer to help you complete the forms for a portion of the funds to be paid to them. Be aware that the process is easy and and it is NOT necessary to give up a portion of your township claim. Treasury staff will assist at no cost.
