UNCLAIMED FUNDS OWNER LIST TO APPEAR IN TUESDAY'S JOURNAL-NEWS

Current and former Butler County residents can check the Hamilton Journal-News on Tuesday, March 26, to find out if they are entitled to a piece of the $505,735.79 in unclaimed funds turned over in the county in the past year, Ohio Department of Commerce Director Gary C. Suhadolnik announced today.

Division of Unclaimed Funds Superintendent David L. Moore defines unclaimed funds as monies or the rights to monies that have been that have been dormant or forgotten.  Some common examples include: dormant checking and savings accounts, forgotten rent and utility deposits, uncashed checks, undelivered stock certificates, uncashed insurance policies and forgotten layaway deposits. 

“This special insert will be a quick and easy way for people to check their names for funds they may have forgotten about or didn’t know they were entitled to,” Director Suhadolnik said.  “Last fiscal year alone, this campaign helped the Division of Unclaimed Funds return $28 million to more than 30,000 claimants.” 

The Butler County special insert will include 1,524 unclaimed funds accounts of $50 or more for individuals whose last known address was in Butler County.  The advertised names will appear in alphabetical order by the owner’s last known city and then in alphabetical order by the owner’s last name.  While the insert will include only those individuals with rights to accounts turned over in the past year, a comprehensive list can be found at the Division’s Web site at www.com.state.oh.us along with forms for individuals and organizations to use in claiming their monies. 

In addition to printing the claim form from the Web site, those who find their name listed can also request a form by submitting the coupon contained in the insert.  When the Division receives the coupon, a claim form will be mailed asking the respondent to provide evidence supporting the claim.

Including the accounts being advertised, the Division is holding a statewide total of more than 2 million accounts worth approximately $300 million.  Superintendent Moore encourages current and former Ohio residents to visit the Web site to see if they have funds waiting to be claimed.  In addition, individuals can write to the Division of Unclaimed Funds and provide the full name to be researched, along with the counties in which the person may have resided.  The Division’s address is 77 South High Street, 20th Floor, Columbus, OH  43266-0545.  Individuals can also contact their county treasurer’s office where advertisements for previous years and lists of accounts under $50 are often available for review.
