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.

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.
