The state of California is the eighth-largest economy in the world; however, for the last couple of years it is facing a major issue of budget deficit. And to cover up this deficit, the California state government is pondering upon utilizing the huge unclaimed cash and property amount.

The state treasurer of California is currently sitting on over more than $5.7 billion in the form of unclaimed property belonging to approximately 11.6 million individuals and organizations. The state has acquired this huge chunk from over $32 billion unclaimed cash and property held by the U.S.

The state of California has enacted Unclaimed Property Law that requires property holders such as corporations, business associations, financial institutions and insurance companies to annually report and return dormant property to the Controller’s Office. A property is called dormant or inactive if there is no customer activity for three years.

Unprecedented Efforts

California state controller’s office is going full force to reach the owners of unclaimed property. From January 2007 till the end of 2009, the office sent out 3.17 million notices warning owners that their property was about to be sent to the state. These notices were in addition to the 1.89 million notices sent to the owners informing them that their property had been taken under the state custody. 
The notice-sending mission has shown encouraging results. It has been successful in returning more than $1 billion worth of unclaimed property to its owners.
