That’s right, as part of her top priorities as Treasurer, Stacy Garrity wants everyone in PA to score touchdowns by finding unclaimed property. It can be done so easily online, according to Garrity, that it won’t interfere with your football viewing. So show some team spirit this weekend!

Unclaimed property includes things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks, insurance policies, tangible property like the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes, and more. State law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy.
Last year, Treasury returned more than $211 million to Pennsylvanians, the most returned in a calendar year since 2018 – also the last time the Eagles brought home the Lombardi Trophy.
In total, Treasury is currently seeking the owners of more than $4 billion in unclaimed property. One in ten Pennsylvanians is owed unclaimed property, and the average value of a claim is $1,600.
