Charleston, WV (WOAY)- State treasurer Riley Moore is encouraging West Virginians to look for letters notifying particular residents about unclaimed property checks from the treasurer’s office this fall.
The letters are part of the office’s annual West Virginia Cash Now program.
Through the program, the office’s unclaimed property division can quickly issue checks to residents who already have verifiable addresses and contact information in legal databases.
This year, the program will target the most common types of claims: individual property owners with claim amounts ranging from $500 to less than $5,000.
The division will send 2,697 notification letters next week, representing nearly $3.3 million of unclaimed property claims.
Residents will receive checks for their unclaimed properties in October.
