Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced that more than $1.4 million in unclaimed property was identified for residents, businesses and organizations during a statewide summer outreach campaign.
The “Claim Your Unclaimed Property” initiative included 35 events. It began at the state Capitol in Harrisburg in June and concluded in DuBois, Clearfield County, in late August.
The largest individual property found was worth more than $105,000 and belonged to a Columbia County resident. An event at the Robinson Township Library near Pittsburgh identified $185,000 for participants, the highest total of the campaign.
Regional totals were:
- Southwest Pennsylvania: $520,177.22
- Southeast Pennsylvania: $379,065.91
- Southcentral Pennsylvania: $214,903.42
- Northwest Pennsylvania: $161,101.49
- Northeast Pennsylvania: $160,759.58
Treasury’s outreach team participates in about 1,000 events annually. Since Garrity took office in 2021, the department has returned more than $1.2 billion in unclaimed property, including a record of more than $334 million last year.
More than $5 billion remains available to be returned. According to Treasury, more than one in 10 Pennsylvanians has unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth more than $1,000.
Unclaimed property may include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks, collectible coins, jewelry and savings bonds.
