Nearly $17 million in unclaimed property could be a big boost for Pennsylvanians ahead of big game!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harrisburg, PA\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 To celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles playing in Sunday\u2019s big game, Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced today that nearly $17 million is owed to over 71,500 Pennsylvanians and Philadelphia sports fans alike with a name or business name that includes the words Saquon, Barkley, Jalen, Hurts, AJ, Brown, Eagles, Fly, Go, Birds, Philly, Special, Brotherly, or Shove.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many Pennsylvanians [including me] are rooting for the Eagles in this weekend\u2019s big game, they may be big winners themselves if they search for unclaimed property,\u201d Treasurer Garrity said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a quarterback sneak or the Philly Special, the Eagles know that big plays lead to big wins \u2013 just like finding money that may belong to you by searching for unclaimed property. The good news for fans is that searching Treasury\u2019s website is quicker than a commercial during the big game. No complicated plays are necessary. With just a few clicks you\u2019ll have your money off the sidelines and heading straight to the endzone \u2013 or your mailbox.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unclaimed property includes things such as dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks, insurance policies, tangible property like the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes, and more. In most cases, state law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy.<\/p>\n

Treasury\u00a0returned<\/a>\u00a0the most unclaimed property ever in calendar year 2024, returning more than $272 million to the rightful owners.\u00a0In total, Treasury is working to return more than $4.5 billion in unclaimed property, including $718.5 million for people in Philadelphia. More than one in ten Pennsylvanians is owed unclaimed property, and the average value of a claim is $1,600.<\/p>\n
