Pennsylvania unclaimed property checks: Will you get one?
More than 8,000 Pennsylvanians will get letters this week, letting them know a check from the state is on the way. "For the first time ever, we're returning unclaimed property to hardworking Pennsylvanians without requiring them to file a claim or submit any paperwork at all. We truly cut red tape out of state government – and how often does that happen? If you receive a Money Match letter, read it and keep it! About 45 days later, your unclaimed property will arrive in the form of a check from the Pennsylvania Treasury Department," Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity said in a statement. The Pennsylvania Money Match Program was unanimously approved by the General Assembly and signed by Gov. Josh Shapiro last year.
