Pennsylvania Unclaimed Property

The most common types of unclaimed property held by the Pennsylvania Treasury Department are savings or checking accounts, stocks, dividends, checks that have not been cashed, certificates of deposit, unclaimed insurance benefits, expired gift certificates, and items abandoned in safe deposit boxes and held in police department stolen-property files. By law, at the end of the five-year period, holders must transfer abandoned property to the Treasury Department.

Sometimes it is money!
Unclaimed money can come from savings or checking accounts, stocks, un-cashed dividends or payroll checks, refunds, traveler's checks, trust distributions, unredeemed money orders or gift certificates (in some states), insurance payments or refunds and life insurance policies, annuities, certificates of deposit, customer overpayments, utility security deposits, mineral royalty payments, and contents of safe deposit boxes.  State governments attempt to locate the rightful owners. If this fails, fails the money may go to the state coffers.
