If you live in Pennsylvania, now’s the time to check if you or your loved ones are due a payout.
 

How Much Is Owed?

  • $5 billion statewide

How to Check If You're Owed Money

It’s quick and free. Just visit the official state database: patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property

There, you can:

  • Search for your name (and family members)

  • File a claim online

  • Upload ID and supporting documents

  • Track your claim status

If the property is a physical item (such as jewelry from a safe deposit box), the state may auction it after 3 years, but you can still claim the proceeds at any time.

What Is the PA Money Match Program?

In May, the Treasury launched a Money Match program, which automatically returns unclaimed property worth up to $500 to rightful owners—no action needed, just verification through state records.

Even if you received a notice from the program, the Treasury urges you to search the database—you may be entitled to even more than the automated amount.
