The Treasurer’s Office is finding new ways to connect unclaimed funds with its rightful owners

From the office of MA State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg: Massachusetts State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg’s Unclaimed Property Division (UCP) has been making its mark on returns this year. Since January, the division has held over 20 outreach visits at senior centers across the state to reunite forgotten property with its rightful owners.

“Too many people do not realize they have money waiting for them. By visiting these centers, we are making it easier for seniors to search for and claim what is theirs.”

Over $385,000 in property has been returned to seniors during these visits, including $72,359.16 in Quincy, $57,357.88 in Hingham, and $55,758.16 in Wellesley. Upcoming visits are scheduled for Sharon and North Attleboro on Monday, July 20th, with additional stops planned for later this summer and fall:

• Weymouth – July 21
• Quincy – August 4
• Fitchburg – August 21
• Framingham – October 16

UCP holds forgotten checking and savings accounts, uncashed checks, stocks and dividends, and more. Accounts are generally considered abandoned and turned over to the state after three years of inactivity.

Massachusetts residents do not need to wait for a senior center visit to check if they are owed money. Treasurer Goldberg urges everyone to search for unclaimed property for free at www.findmassmoney.gov or call the Unclaimed Property Division’s live call center at 1-888-344-MASS (6277).
