Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Senator Gene Yaw Return More than $27,000 in Unclaimed Property

Montoursville, PA - Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Senator Gene Yaw (R-23) announced today that more than $27,000 in unclaimed property has been returned to constituents of the 23rd legislative district, following a recent event held at Community Baptist Church in Montoursville, Lycoming County.

"Unclaimed property is often the result of something as simple as a forgotten account, an old check or a change of address, and many people don't even realize they have money waiting to be claimed. Thanks to Senator Yaw, we were able to put more than $27,000 back where it belongs, into the rightful hands of constituents across the 23rd district."

Since taking office in 2021, Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $1.2 billion in unclaimed property, including a record of over $334 million last year.

"Helping return more than $27,000 to residents of the 23rd Senatorial District shows the real impact of bringing these services directly into our communities. I appreciate Treasurer Garrity and her team for working with our office to help local residents identify and claim money that belongs to them. This event was a great opportunity to connect constituents with resources they may not have known were available."

Treasury is working to return more than $5 billion to its rightful owners, including over $17 million available to residents in Lycoming County. More than one in 10 Pennsylvanians have unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth over $1,000.

Unclaimed property includes things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks and more. It can also include physical assets, such as collectible coins, jewelry and savings bonds, that most often come to Treasury as the contents of safe deposit boxes.
