Pennsylvania launches Money Match program sending $1.7M in unclaimed property

Treasurer Stacy Garrity, Senator Scott E. Hutchinson, and Representative Ryan Bizzarro have announced the distribution of the first Pennsylvania Money Match checks. These checks, totaling over $1.7 million, are being sent to Pennsylvanians as part of a new program designed to return unclaimed property to its rightful owners automatically.

"In the coming days, more than 7,000 people will receive Pennsylvania Money Match checks totaling more than $1.7 million - and most of these folks didn't even realize they had unclaimed property waiting for them," said Treasurer Garrity. She emphasized the importance of informing people about this initiative: "We want to get the word out about this program, and let people know that these checks will be arriving, so everyone knows that this is a real program, this is real money, and it belongs to them!"

The Pennsylvania Money Match program was approved unanimously by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor last year.
