TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Today, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Blaise Ingoglia announced that more than $44 million in unclaimed property was returned to Floridians during the month of July. Unclaimed property is a financial asset that is unknown, lost, left inactive, unclaimed, or abandoned by its owner. The most common types of unclaimed property are dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks, dividends, uncashed checks, deposits, credit balances, and refunds.

CFO Blaise Ingoglia said, “My office is working to reunite Floridians with what’s rightfully theirs, returning millions of dollars in unclaimed property back into the hands of hardworking taxpayers, families, and small businesses across the state, just like former CFO Jimmy Patronis worked so hard to do during his tenure. Whether it’s forgotten bank accounts, insurance proceeds, or utility deposits, leaving no stone unturned in our mission to put money and assets back where they belong.”

Unclaimed property also includes contents from abandoned safe deposit boxes in financial institutions. Unclaimed property assets are held by business or government entities (holders) for a set time, usually five years. If the holder cannot locate, re-establish contact with the owner, and return the asset, it is reported and remitted to the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Unclaimed Property.
