SALT LAKE CITY – Could you use a little extra cash right now? Of course you could.
It’s almost like winning the lottery, you could have unclaimed funds and not even know it.
Utah State Treasurer David Damschen announced Tuesday the State of Utah’s Unclaimed Property Division received more than $37.6 million in abandoned property in the second half of 2015.
“Each year as tax season approaches we remind Utahns to check mycash.utah.gov to see if they have lost or abandoned property – anything from dormant bank accounts and deposit refunds missing a forwarding address – to forgotten safe deposit boxes,” Treasurer Damschen said. “And I’m proud to report that Unclaimed Property’s 2015 outreach campaign and new website increased paid claims by 107 percent.”
