Treasurer Stacy Garrity: Spring into Action and Make it Rain Money with Unclaimed Property

Harrisburg, PA - Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity is encouraging Pennsylvanians to brighten their rainy spring days by claiming their unclaimed property. Individuals, businesses and organizations with names that include the words Rose, Tulip, Daisy, Iris, Bloom, Garden, April, May, Rain and Sun have over $46 million in unclaimed property that Treasury is working to return.

"Spring isn't all sunshine and rainbows - sometimes it's money you didn't even know you had. With the first day of spring upon us, now is a perfect time to claim what's rightfully yours. I encourage everyone to take a moment to search our database to see if they have money waiting for them!"

Treasury receives hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed property every year, often because of something as simple as a misspelled name or an out-of-date address.

Since 2021, Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $1 billion in unclaimed property and continues working to return over $5 billion more that is safeguarded by Treasury. The average claim is worth over $1,000.

Unclaimed property can be intangible and tangible. Intangible items include things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks and more, while tangible property includes physical assets, such as collectible coins, jewelry and savings bonds.

Searching and claiming your unclaimed property is fast, free and as simple as visiting Treasury's online database at patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property.
