POINT PLEASANT -- State Treasurer Riley Moore announced his Office's Unclaimed Property Division returned more than $60,000 to the city of Point Pleasant.
"I was honored to partner with the city of Point Pleasant to return lost funds back to the community," Treasurer Moore said. "Since the fiscal year began, we've already surpassed the amount of unclaimed property paid out to our citizens compared to this point for the previous record-breaking year, which is due to our efforts to reform the unclaimed property laws and update our programs to efficiently serve the people of West Virginia."
The city of Point Pleasant received an unclaimed property check valued at $60,295.49.
"We at the city of Point Pleasant want to express our extreme gratitude for the work the State Treasurer's Office has done in finding unclaimed funds owed to our city," Point Pleasant Mayor Amber Tatterson said.
"They contacted us and clearly explained the process, which was extremely easy.
"I highly encourage everyone to take the time to reach out and take advantage of the unclaimed property program. You won't be disappointed -- it's a win-win situation."
The State Treasurer's Office has more than $400 million in unclaimed property in its database, with 31,129 listings worth over $3,860,000 in Mason County.
Last month, the Office's Unclaimed Property Division returned more than $2 million worth of unclaimed property to individuals, businesses and organizations.
Moore encourages Point Pleasant residents and all West Virginians to visit www.WVUnclaimedProperty.gov to see if they have money being held by the State Treasurer's Office.
