Colorado Has Unclaimed Money Too
One man is urging all state residents to attempt to find unclaimed money in Colorado. Walker R. Stapleton, the Colorado State Treasurer has launched a campaign called ‘The Great Colorado Payback’. This payback is designed to reunite Colorado unclaimed money owners with the money being held in state accounts that rightfully belongs to them. With over 1.7 million names on the state registry, Stapleton has a long way to go if he hopes to inform every resident on the registry that they might find unclaimed money in Colorado if they just conduct a simple search.
Colorado Unclaimed Money Sources
According to the State Treasurer, there is no limit for searching for Colorado unclaimed money. If you can’t imagine that you’d ever find unclaimed money in Colorado, consider the following sources.
- Oil and Gas Royalties
- Abandoned Checking and Savings Accounts
- Safe Deposit Boxes
- Mutual Funds
- Uncashed Insurance Checks
- Money Orders
- Security Deposits
- Payroll Wages
If you have Colorado unclaimed money in your name from any of the above sources, it will be sent to the Treasury office for safekeeping. If you have unclaimed property, that property will be sold on EBay as part of the Great Colorado unclaimed money Payback Auction and that money will then be kept by the Treasurer until you claim it.
You never know if you might find unclaimed money in Colorado until you conduct a search for yourself. It only takes a moment, you will find out right away if you have a sum coming to you and you will be able to collect any funds you find in a matter of days.
With billions on the line, you might find unclaimed money in Colorado. Take the time to search and put your mind at ease. The State’s Treasurer office has other duties besides unclaimed money so it will be difficult to contact 1.7 million people to alert them to the problem. If you have money available, it is up to you to conduct a search. You never know, you might find a hefty sum at the other end.
