Search Unclaimed Property Through My Office
One in 10 Pennsylvania residents has unclaimed property in their name in the Pennsylvania Treasury. The vault is filled with financial assets – including lost paychecks, abandoned bank accounts and more – that have been misplaced but are being held by the Treasury for safekeeping. The state receives millions of dollars each year because of simple mistakes like a misspelled name or an out-of-date address.
You can claim your property online at www.PaTreasury.gov/UnclaimedProperty or staff in my district office will happily assist you in searching the database and retrieving unclaimed funds. There is no cost to search the state database to see if you have unclaimed property.
