"In 2015, the Treasury collected and returned more unclaimed property than any other year," Treasurer Reese said. "About one in ten Pennsylvanians has unclaimed property and our goal is to reconnect as many people as possible with property and funds that are rightfully theirs. Our annual newspaper ad campaign is an important way to reach out."
