Pennsylvania Treasury’s outreach team has participated in nearly 1,000 events statewide in 2026, Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced.
Outreach increased 54 percent through the first three quarters of the year, according to Treasury. Events provide information about the PA 529 College and Career Savings Program, Keystone Scholars, PA ABLE and unclaimed property.
Keystone Scholars provides a free $100 scholarship account to every child born to, or adopted by, a Pennsylvania family since 2019. Funds become available for eligible post-high school education expenses when the child turns 18.
PA 529 offers tax advantages for families saving for qualifying education expenses, including technical schools, colleges, universities, K-12 education and certain apprenticeship and credential programs. PA ABLE allows Pennsylvanians with disabilities to save money tax free without affecting important benefits.
Treasury holds more than $5 billion in unclaimed property owed to more than one in 10 Pennsylvanians. The average claim exceeds $1,000. Unclaimed property includes dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks and items from safe deposit boxes, such as coins, jewelry and savings bonds.
Residents can search for unclaimed property at searchandclaimpa.gov.
Organizations can request in-person events, webinars and training about Treasury’s consumer programs at patreasury.gov/consumer.
