"The $500 million in our unclaimed cash program comes from financial institutions, insurance companies, businesses and government agencies in the form of wages, utility deposits and insurance policy proceeds. These are just a few of the 100 types of property reclaimed every day by our agency. By law, these funds are escheated, or turned over, to our agency for safekeeping. As new funds are added, we update our website which means that your name could be listed right now." (taken from the Department of State Treasurer Unclaimed Property Program Website)
