Treasurer Stacy Garrity Returns More than $23,000 in Unclaimed Property to Beaver County

Beaver, PA - Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Beaver County Treasurer Sandie Egley announced today that more than $23,000 in unclaimed property is headed back to Beaver County.

"Unclaimed property doesn't belong to the state -- but it can make a huge difference for local governments like Beaver County, which is why I'm thrilled to return these funds so they can benefit local residents there. I encourage everyone to take a moment to search for unclaimed property -- for themselves, their business and any organization that they're a part of."

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.

"As Beaver County Treasurer, I regularly check for unclaimed property and work with the Pennsylvania Treasury to recover money owed to the county. Bringing back more than $23,000 is another way we're looking out for our taxpayers and making sure county dollars are accounted for. I encourage all Beaver County residents to search every year for unclaimed funds of their own. If you need help getting started or have questions, my office is happy to assist."

Beaver County officials will determine how the $23,081.45 will be spent.

Treasury is working to return over $5 billion more to its rightful owners, including almost $29 million available to residents in Beaver 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.
