National Unclaimed Property Day Holds Over $1 Billion in Unclaimed Property for Nevadans – Is Your Name on the List?
The 1st of February is National Unclaimed Property Day, which serves as a suitable prompt to examine one’s belongings for any unclaimed assets that may be reclaimed. The objective of the Nevada Treasurer’s Office is to restore the rightful assets of the state’s citizens, including unpaid life insurance benefits, neglected bank accounts, and underused rebate cards. Although more than $236 million in unclaimed property has been returned to individuals since 2019, Nevadans still owe over $1 billion in such assets; you may be among them.
According to the Nevada Treasurer’s Office, an estimated one in every seven Nevadans may have unclaimed property waiting for them, according to a news report by Yahoo News. If you’ve ever relocated without updating your address, switched insurance companies, or experienced similar changes, there’s a chance that unclaimed money or property could belong to you. Businesses are required to report abandoned property to the State Treasurer’s office, which then makes concerted efforts to reunite these assets with their rightful owners or heirs – with no commission taken by the Nevada Treasury.
