TOPEKA, Kan. — State Treasurer Ron Estes announced Thursday that the Kansas Cash booth had another successful year at the 2014 Kansas State Fair.
Kansas State Treasurer Ron Estes says with over 2,400 claims filed, and more than $750,000 reunited with respective owners, he couldn’t be more pleased with their unclaimed property efforts during the state fair. He adds that the numbers have always been good but this year they were far greater than they’ve seen in recent years.
Fair attendees were able to search for missing money in a computerized database at the fair’s unclaimed property booth. The single largest claim discovered was $93,609.34.
Unclaimed property comes from forgotten bank accounts, stocks, bonds, insurance premium over payments, refunds, abandoned safe deposit boxes and other property. It is the treasurer’s goal to locate the rightful owners and heirs of unclaimed assets currently being held by the State of Kansas.
People can still search for unclaimed property online at www.kansascash.com or by calling 1-800-432-0386.
