COLUMBIA – State Treasurer Curtis Loftis is spreading some holiday cheer by reuniting individuals with their missing money. Loftis’ office will be launching the ‘Happy HoliPAID’ social media campaign to raise awareness of the state’s Unclaimed Property Program and encouraging South Carolinians to search for funds due to them.
The State Treasurer’s Office has more than $700 million in unclaimed property for South Carolina citizens, businesses and organizations. Examples of unclaimed property include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance proceeds and forgotten utility deposits. The Treasurer acts as custodian of these funds until they are claimed by their rightful owners.
“By encouraging people to search the State Treasurer’s website for unclaimed property, we’re hoping we can make the holidays a little happier for those who are due funds,” Loftis said.
To search for unclaimed property for you or your family, visit treasurer.sc.gov to get started.
