Claim your lost or forgotten cash at Haysville Community Library.
Kansas State Treasurer Dennis McKinney’s office is currently safeguarding over $200 million worth of unclaimed property for their rightful owners or their heirs.
As a part of the Treasurer’s “Unclaimed Property Returns” tour, Treasurer McKinney and staff members will be traveling throughout the area talking about and searching for Kansans unclaimed property. Treasurer McKinney and staff will be in Haysville at the Haysville Community Library at 210 S. Hays from 1:30 to 3:00pm on Monday, March 29th.
“We encourage everyone in the area to stop by and check their name and the names of family and friends,” said McKinney. “In this economy everyone could use a little help and we feel it’s important to be sure that these resources get back to the rightful owners. The Unclaimed Property Returns tour is a wonderful opportunity for us to connect Kansans with cash and property currently being held by our office,” McKinney explained.
Unclaimed property includes inactive savings and checking accounts, uncashed checks, stock shares and bonds, dividend checks, insurance proceeds, mineral royalties, and utility deposits.
In addition to cash, stocks and bonds, safe deposit boxes are also turned over to the State Treasurer’s office on an annual basis. There are currently over 15,718 safe deposit box properties on file. Approximately 600 new boxes are turned over to the treasurer’s office each year.
“It is my job to reunite Kansans with their unclaimed financial assets,” McKinney explained. “Reaching out to people in their hometowns is a great way to give back to Kansans what is rightfully theirs.”
Making a claim is free and easy. There are no fees involved in searching for or claiming cash and property. To search, a last name is required and a first name is recommended.
Kansans who can’t make it to the Haysville Community Library on Monday, March 29 may call the State Treasurer’s office at 1-800-432-0386 or log onto www.KansasCash.com to search for unclaimed property.
