Ohio Department of Commerce – Unclaimed Funds
COLUMBUS – The Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds holds and returns forgotten money. Citizens may search for forgotten funds with the Ohio Dept. of Commerce’s enhanced website (see below).
A recent news story places value of this fund at over $4 Billion.
Governor Mike DeWine proposes to pay for a new Cleveland Brown’s domed stadium in Brook Park with $60 Million Dollars from this fund.
As calendars flip to February, the Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of Unclaimed Funds encourages individuals across the country to search for and reclaim any lost or forgotten money that may be in their name. February is Unclaimed Funds Month.
Several states, including Ohio, used to annually publish a complete list of unclaimed funds held by the state. While some states continue that practice, Ohio does not.
To find out if there are funds for yourself or family members, check the website accessible here.
