The General Treasurer’s office has released the list of 21,000 names, with claims worth $9.7 million.

Every year, the state releases the list of millions of dollars in unclaimed property. It include: inactive financial accounts, old payroll checks, the contents of various safe deposit boxes, and proceeds from life insurance policies, utility deposits, stocks and dividends, overpayments and several other financial properties.
