“During the holidays, everyone can use a little extra cash, and an unexpected check from the State of Florida may help make things a little brighter this year. I am going to be working throughout this month and next to get the word out about Unclaimed Property and I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity,” Patronis said.

The most common types of unclaimed property are: uncashed checks, deposits, credit balances, refunds, dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks and dividends, and contents from abandoned safe deposit boxes at financial institutions.
