Do you have money coming to you in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt?
Jan. 25, 2022 9:20 am
In celebration of National Unclaimed Property Day, held annually on Feb. 1, State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald announced residents in each of the state’s 99 counties are in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt.
"This past year, there was a total of $49 million reported to the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt," said Fitzgerald.
Under unclaimed property law, when companies and other entities are unable to locate the rightful owner of money and valuables in their possession, they are required to report it to the State by Nov. 1 each year.
Assets reported to the state include uncashed payroll checks, abandoned savings accounts, lost stocks and more.
"Each year after reporting season, the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is filled with new assets waiting to be claimed," Fitzgerald said. "In an effort to alert those in Washington County of their funds, my office has created a list of people and businesses with the top amounts of unclaimed property."
In Washington County, $235,000 was remitted, while in Jefferson County, $383,000 was remitted. Fitzgerald reported that $333,000 was remitted in Henry County.
The top amounts reported in each of the three counties are:
