February is Unclaimed Funds Month

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Unclaimed Funds reunites Ohioans with their hard-earned but forgotten money, and last year the average claim was $4,000.

Unclaimed funds are lost or forgotten money that businesses and banks report to us after accounts become inactive, typically 3-5 years. The money comes from inactive checking and savings accounts, refund/credit balances, uncashed cashier’s checks, stocks and bonds, forgotten utility deposits or last paychecks.

Ohioans can check any time see if they have unclaimed funds at unclaimedfunds.ohio.gov or by calling 614-466-4433.
