In an impressive financial milestone, Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Blaise Ingoglia, revealed that February saw an unprecedented $88 million in unclaimed property returned to the state’s residents. This achievement underscores the state’s commitment to reuniting citizens with their forgotten assets.
Unclaimed property encompasses a wide array of items and financial assets, including dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks, dividends, and uncashed checks. It may also involve tangible items such as watches, jewelry, coins, and stamps, which often go unnoticed over time.
“This record-breaking month of unclaimed property returns means more money back into the pockets of Floridians,” Ingoglia remarked. He emphasized the relentless efforts of the Division of Unclaimed Property in ensuring these assets find their way back to their rightful owners. Ingoglia encouraged all Floridians to visit their website to check for any unclaimed property they may be entitled to.
