CFO Ingoglia is encouraging all Floridians to visit FLTreasureHunt.gov to search for their unclaimed property.
Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia said, “This St. Patrick’s Day, Floridians might be able to discover their own pot of gold awaiting them through the Division of Unclaimed Property. My team is working every day to reunite Floridians with the money that rightfully belongs to them. To see if you have property waiting to be claimed, visit FLTreasureHunt.gov.”
Unclaimed property includes dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks, dividends, uncashed checks, deposits, credit balances, and refunds. Also, unclaimed property can be tangible items such as watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps, historical items, etc. from abandoned safe deposit boxes.
