Nebraska residents may have unclaimed money waiting for them, and State Treasurer Joey Spellerberg wants to help people get it back before the holidays.
The Unclaimed Property Program holds forgotten or abandoned money, including:
-
Old bank accounts or savings
-
Uncashed checks
-
Insurance payouts
-
Safe deposit box contents
Since the program began, Nebraska has returned $260 million to rightful owners.
This year alone, 16,000+ claims added up to $16.27 million. Some are small refunds, others are thousands of dollars.
