Over $1.6 Billion In Florida Unclaimed Property
Wednesday, September 18th, 2013Unclaimed property in Florida has recently hit the $1.6 Billion mark and the money and items flowing into the state’s Treasury show no signs of slowing. This wouldn’t be an issue if the Treasury office had the manpower and resources to count and manage all that loot. Instead, the cash and items are stored away in a Treasury vault until such time as the rightful owners step forward to claim them. With hardly anyone stepping forward, officials are worried that Florida unclaimed property could grow to be completely unmanageable in the near future.
