HARRISBURG – On May 1st, “A Conversation with Senator Gene Yaw” takes a behind-the-scenes tour of the Pennsylvania Department of Treasury, Bureau of Unclaimed Property, in Harrisburg.
Each year, the Pennsylvania Department of Treasury receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property – forgotten stocks, un-cashed checks, insurance policies, antiques and other heirlooms – and works to return them to the rightful owners. Currently, Pennsylvania is holding over a billion dollars in unclaimed property.
“Throughout Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Union counties, there is over $15 million dollars for claim by eligible area residents,” Yaw said. “This month’s program will discuss how the Department of Treasury can help you recover that property free of charge. One out of every 10 state residents have property waiting for them,” Yaw added.
