Have you ever wondered if there are unclaimed funds owed to you in Arkansas? Well, good news awaits.
Arkansas State Auditor Dennis Milligan has introduced a new website, claimitar.gov, to help individuals and businesses find their share of over $400 million in unclaimed cash.
As Arkansas celebrated National Unclaimed Property Day on Thursday, this initiative, known as the "Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt," aims to reunite rightful owners with their forgotten assets.
Let's dive into the details of this exciting opportunity for Arkansans.
The Hunt for Unclaimed Cash
According to Auditor Dennis Milligan, one in four Arkansans is owed money from various sources such as utility deposits, forgotten stocks, or items left behind in safe deposit boxes.
The newly launched claimitar.gov website provides a simple and user-friendly platform for users to search for any funds that may be owed to them.
Easy Steps to Claim Your Treasure
Claiming your unclaimed property on claimitar.gov is a breeze.
Simply visit the website and click on the "Search" button under the "Claiming Property" section. Enter your first and last name to initiate the search. The website promptly informs you if any funds are owed to you.
Best of all, using the website is completely free, and the state does not charge any fees for filing a claim.
User-Friendly and Secure
Arkansas State Auditor Dennis Milligan assures users that the claimitar.gov website is safe and secure for entering personal information. The state has implemented appropriate measures to protect users from fraud.
In fact, the old website address, which was .com, will automatically redirect users to the new .gov site, ensuring a seamless and secure experience for all.
Hidden Treasures for All
This new website isn't limited to individuals alone. Companies, both operational and closed, as well as non-profit organizations, can also search for unclaimed funds owed to them.
This inclusive approach widens the scope for businesses and organizations to recover forgotten assets and put them to good use.
The Value of Unclaimed Funds
On average, individuals who go through the process of claiming their unclaimed property often find around $100.
While the amount may vary from person to person, it serves as a reminder that unclaimed funds can make a significant difference in someone's life.
These funds can be used for various purposes, such as paying off debts, funding education, or contributing to savings.
