Like Friendship Bracelets Telling Someone About Find Mass Money will take your relationship to New Heights You got no reason to be afraid on National Unclaimed Property Day (Treasurer’s Version)
Today, February 1, 2024, Massachusetts State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg and the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators are in their National Unclaimed Property Day era … and you should take the moment and taste it by visiting https://www.findmassmoney.gov/!
The Unclaimed Property Division (UCP) is real, so take the money because Massachusetts is holding more than $3 billion in unclaimed property belonging to individuals and businesses throughout the state. A friendship bracelet could help get you a girlfriend, but telling someone about unclaimed property will get you a big reputation as the best of friends.
“You are not on your own, kid when declaring what is rightfully yours,” said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. “Be fearless and write your name in the blank space on our website at any time… even on midnights like this!”
Your friends from home won’t know what to say if you tell them that unclaimed property includes forgotten savings and checking accounts, un-cashed checks, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, dividends, and the contents of unattended safe deposit boxes. You could use your unclaimed funds to adopt a Ragdoll kitten, buy your favorite shade of red lipstick, or even purchase tickets to this year’s Super Bowl!
Most accounts are considered abandoned and are turned over to the state after three years of inactivity. In 2023, Treasury processed over 148,000 claims and returned over $185 million in cash and securities to its rightful owners. That’s a lot of thirteens.
There is no time limit for a person to claim this property, but we do not want to wait ages to see you there. Searching for unclaimed money is always free.
Treasurer Goldberg urges all citizens to check the comprehensive list for all amounts at findmassmoney.gov or call our live call center at 888-344-MASS (6277) because everything you lose is a step you take when contacting UCP.
