Do you have any unclaimed money?

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Treasurer Clint Zweifel was in Kirksville on Saturday marketing the Missouri House Democrats “Road to the Majority Tour” in northeast Missouri. Zweifel said Missouri has a strong field of democrats running in 2010 who understand the need for innovative and fiscally responsible solutions to move Missouri’s economy.

While campaigning, Zweifel talked about his office and their unclaimed property program. As of January 2010, the Sate Treasure’s office was holding more than $600 million in unclaimed assets in more than 3.5 million owner accounts. Zweifel said the average return is $360 and 1 in 10 Missourians has unclaimed property.

Since taking office, Zweifel has returned more than $31 million in unclaimed property and reduced the wait time for a return by 15 days. The Treasurer said this is Missouri’s largest lost and found, and encourages Show-Me residents to search for any unclaimed money.
