Treasurer Garrity Returns $24K in Unclaimed Property

Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity today announced that more than $24,000 worth of unclaimed property was found for fans of the Williamsport Crosscutters at the game against the West Virginia Black Bears in Williamsport on July 25. Treasurer Garrity threw a ceremonial first pitch ahead of the game.

“It was fantastic to meet so many baseball fans and return unclaimed property to them,” Treasurer Garrity said. “Dozens of fans stopped by Treasury’s booth and found unclaimed property – money they didn’t even realize was missing! I want to thank the Crosscutters organization for hosting us and helping get money back into the hands of their tremendous fans.”

“The Williamsport Crosscutters appreciated the opportunity to host Treasurer Garrity and the PA Treasury Department again this year at Journey Bank Ballpark,” said Gabe Sinicropi, Crosscutters VP of Marketing. “Our fans were once again surprised and excited at all the unclaimed money that was found!”

Fans who attended the game were assisted by Treasurer Garrity and Treasury’s unclaimed property staff as they searched for unclaimed property.

Unclaimed property can include things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policies, contents of forgotten safe deposit boxes and more. State law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy.

Treasury is working to return more than $5 billion in unclaimed property, including more than $15 million owed to Lycoming County residents. More than one in ten Pennsylvanians are owed unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth more than $1,000.
