As Oklahomans embrace the summer season, the Oklahoma State Treasurer’s Office is encouraging residents to take a moment to check for unclaimed property, financial assets that may have been forgotten, misplaced or simply overlooked.
The Treasurer’s Office currently holds more than $1.4 billion in unclaimed assets belonging to current and former Oklahoma residents. These funds can include forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds, utility deposits and more.
“Summer can be a slower season for many: school’s out, routines shift and people finally find time to catch up on things they’ve put off,” said Oklahoma State Treasurer Todd Russ.
“It’s the perfect moment to check and see if there’s unclaimed money waiting for you or someone in your family.”
You can also search for close family members, including loved ones who have passed away, as some assets may still be claimed by their heirs or designated representatives. The Unclaimed Property Program is one of several ways the Treasurer’s Office helps Oklahomans protect and recover their assets.
Searching is fast, free and secure at YourMoney.ok.gov. All you need is your name to get started. The entire claims process can be completed online.
