Earlier this year, Treasury’s Unclaimed Property Program conducted ‘Checks Without Claims’ and reconnected more than 20,000 individuals with their unclaimed funds totaling nearly $11 million. With over $1 billion in unclaimed funds currently held by Treasury, ‘Checks Without Claims’ is one of many efforts done to reconnect more Oregonians with their unclaimed money and property. Common examples of unclaimed property include uncashed payroll checks, forgotten bank accounts, tax refunds, credit balances, investment accounts, refunds, and more. Nearly one in seven people in the United States has unclaimed property. Questions about unclaimed funds or “Checks without Claims” can be directed to Oregon’s Unclaimed Property Program via email claims@ost.state.or.us or phone at 503-566-9445.
