Dear Friends,
There’s a good chance you have money waiting to be returned to you, and it’s easy to check.
February 1st is National Unclaimed Property Day, and while the official day has passed there has never been a better time to check to see if YOU have money to claim.
Connecticut’s official unclaimed property website – CTBigList.com – allows you to easily search for unclaimed property for free. If you find something, you can instantly file a claim. There is no time limit to claim your funds.
Lost or forgotten money and other property is handed over to the Connecticut Office of the Treasurer for safekeeping until it can be claimed by its rightful owners. This unclaimed property can include unpaid life insurance benefits, forgotten bank accounts, utility deposits and refunds, annuities, and more.
To date, Connecticut has returned more than $1 billion to rightful owners through the unclaimed property program.
