Solano County Treasurer/Tax Collecter/County Clerk Charles Lomeli explained that the auditor keeps a record of checks issued, which are valid for one year.
Even after a check isn’t cashed or deposited, that money is still set aside to be claimed. The money waiting in county coffers ranges from a few $15 checks to one for $3,950.
Michael Cooper, assistant treasurer/tax collector, said it is possible checks weren’t received because someone moved.
A list of unclaimed money owed to residents and businesses is available on the county’s website,www.solanocounty.com. To make a claim, forms are available online or at the treasurer’s office at the County Government Center, 675 Texas St., Fairfield. He added that those claiming must show proof of who they are.

Unclaimed money issue needs attention in Solano County, California
May 22, 2011By Kimberly K. Fu
Posted: 05/17/2011
Improvements are needed in the way Solano cities deal with unclaimed money and related issues, according to a Solano County grand jury report released Monday.
The document, titled “Unclaimed Funds and Escheatment Process Review,” delved into the handling of various types of unclaimed finds, including that of deceased residents with no known heir and “stale-dated” warrants and checks.
Following public notification, the state government code dictates that the money revert to county or city general fund accounts after a period of three years has elapsed. Dixon, Rio Vista and Suisun City all have not published prior notification in several years, the report found.
Grand jurors also noted that, in Vacaville, public notification of items under $50 are handled improperly, with money reverting back to the city before the required three-year period. The notice, according to the report, also fails to list where the money is being held.
