To the editor:
Each year, millions of dollars in unclaimed property make their way to the Missouri State Treasurer’s Office. This property includes forgotten utility deposits, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds and even the contents of safe deposit boxes. Some of it dates back decades. But no matter how long it’s been, that money still belongs to you.
Since becoming State Treasurer, I’ve made it my mission to return as much of this property as possible to hardworking Missourians. It’s your money, and I believe you deserve to have it back. So far, my administration has returned over $131 million in unclaimed property to rightful owners, and we’re just getting started. Currently, my office holds over $1 billion in unclaimed assets. That means there’s a good chance you or someone you know has money waiting to be claimed.
Searching is easy and only takes a minute. Just visit ShowMeMoney.com and enter your name. If there’s a match, you can submit a claim quickly and securely online. We’ve worked hard to make this process fast and free. And let me be clear: there is never a fee to claim your unclaimed property through our office.
Unclaimed property isn’t just a statistic or a line in the budget. It’s a paycheck that never got cashed. It’s a savings account a loved one forgot to mention. It’s your money, and our job is to protect it and return it. Whether you’re a college student, a small business owner, or a retiree on a fixed income, every dollar counts. So take a moment today to visit ShowMeMoney.com and check your name, check your family’s names, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. My office is here to serve you. And as long as I’m your Treasurer, I’ll keep working to reunite Missourians with what’s rightfully theirs.
