Each year, the PA Treasury Department receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property. Common types of unclaimed property are savings or checking accounts, stocks, dividends, checks that have not been cashed such as payroll, certificates of deposit, unclaimed insurance benefits, insurance premium refunds, and the like.   

Don’t miss out! PA State Treasurer Stacey Garrity announced that she was able to return $19,000 in unclaimed property to Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County. This included 25 “properties” ranging in value from $27 to $14,874.98. The oldest property is from 1999 with the most recent from 2020 and includes accounts payable checks, a checking account, uncashed checks, and other forms of unclaimed property. 

“This funding will provide valuable support for essential maintenance projects at our public facilities and enhance recreational opportunities for both seniors and youth in our community” said Hempfield Township Board of Supervisors Chairman Doug Weimar.  

Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $18.3 million to nearly 100 local governments, including $31,000 to Willistown Township, Chester County and $172,000 to Taylor Township in Lawrence County.
