The Pennsylvania Treasury safeguards more than $4.5–5 billion in unclaimed property, with about 1 in 10 Pennsylvanians estimated to have money waiting, and an average claim around $1,600.

  • Uncashed payroll and refund checks

  • Utility deposits and insurance proceeds

  • Forgotten safe deposit box contents

  • Stocks, bonds, and other financial assets
