State treasurer: Missouri sets record in returning unclaimed property Columbia Missourian Thursday, June 11, 2009 | 11:46 a.m. CDT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JEFFERSON CITY - Missouri
Treasurer Clint Zweifel said
his office has set a new record for returning abandoned property to people. Zweifel said the treasurer's office has paid
out 71,406 unclaimed property accounts so far this fiscal year, which runs
through June 30. The previous record of 71,155 accounts paid
was set in the 2004 fiscal year. The treasurer's Unclaimed Property Division
holds abandoned assets from bank accounts, stocks, bonds, insurance policy
proceeds, government refunds, utility deposits, wages from past jobs and
contents of safe deposit boxes. The property is turned over to the state if
there has been no documented transaction or contact with the owner for five or
more years. The state then tries to track down the owners. |
