Do You Have Unclaimed Money?

Published

New City, NY – The County of Rockland and County Executive Ed Day are pleased to announce a series of five unclaimed fund events happening in each town across the county allowing residents to check and see if they have unclaimed funds.

The Office of the New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli reports there is $18.4 billion in lost money across the state with his office returning $1.5 million to those filing claims daily. The County of Rockland encourages residents to attend and submit new claims or check on existing claims.

“This is something I’ve personally shared on social media many times because occasionally, after that reminder, at least one person out there ends up finding a few extra bucks they would never have known about,” said County Executive Ed Day. “Where does it come from? Abandoned bank accounts, insurance companies, courts, and more. We urge our residents who are unsure to swing by one of the events to check if they have unclaimed funds.”

The events scheduled are:
