If you want more money, read on!
State Controller Betty Yee announced on Tuesday that her office is safeguarding a total of $9.3 billion in unclaimed cash belonging to Californians, and she’s asking owners to take the steps to retrieve it.
How exactly did the California State Controller’s Office get a hold of all this money?
Yee says all this unclaimed financial property includes uncashed checks, insurance benefits, bank accounts, wages, and safe deposit box contents.
“California’s Unclaimed Property Law requires banks, insurance companies, corporations, and certain other entities to report and submit their customers’ property to the State Controller’s Office when there has been no activity for a period of time (generally three years),” according to the office’s website.
The office says there is no deadline for claiming it once it is transferred over to them.
All you have to do to see if any of the billions are yours is the following:
- Search the controller’s database at claimit.ca.gov or
- Call 800-992-4647
There is no time limit for submitting a claim.
