Do you have unclaimed property waiting for you?

Posted

State Treasurer Curtis Loftis may be looking for you.  
That’s because his office has nearly $18 million in unclaimed funds that belongs to people living in Lexington County.
“Returning unclaimed property to its rightful owners is an important part of our work at the State Treasurer’s Office,” Treasurer Loftis said. “We know this money can make a meaningful impact on our citizens, local businesses, churches, schools and even non-profit organizations.”
Currently the State Treasurer’s Office has more than $550 million in unclaimed property across the state. Millions of dollars are transferred to the program annually by companies that cannot locate the owners.   Here are just a few people in Lexington that have funds at the State Treasurer’s Office: 
David Frye, Duane Everett, James Cantrell, Cheryl Kirkpatrick, Scott Camp, Johnny Hatchell, Heather Segars, Dixie Covell, Amanda Blume, Troy Martin, Kellie McClarrie, Tracy Chavis, Linda Dunlap, Maria Branham, Mary Montez, Stacey Holloman, James Evans, Carol Dozier, Melissa Stroud, Terry Blum, and Laura Sharpe.    
If your name is on this list, it’s easy to claim your funds on the State Treasurer’s website.  
“It’s your money and I want to give it back to you,” Treasurer Loftis said. “It only takes a minute to check to see if you have any unclaimed property. It's free and easy to do, so there's no excuse not to check your name.”
Treasurer Loftis and the Unclaimed Property Program returned nearly $33 million in 2017, bringing the total amount of money returned during his administration to $137 million, more than all previous state treasurers combined.
Examples of the types of property covered by the program include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance proceeds and forgotten utility deposits. The State Treasurer’s Office serves as custodian of unclaimed funds and holds them until claimed by the rightful owners.
Visit the State Treasurer's Office website at www.treasurer.sc.gov to see if there is any unclaimed property for you or your family.
