Treasurer Stacy Garrity Returns Over $186,000 in Unclaimed Property to Limerick Township

Limerick, PA - Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced today that more than $186,000 in unclaimed property has been returned to Limerick Township in Montgomery County.

"At Treasury, we are committed to helping individuals, businesses and government entities across the Commonwealth recover funds that belong to them. I'm proud to return more than $186,000 in unclaimed property to Limerick Township - money that can now be used to support the local community and its residents."

The $186,600.96 returned to Limerick Township includes one individual property. The property returned included funds of a checking account dating back to 2021.

Since 2021, Treasurer Garrity has returned over $20 million to 117 local government agencies, including counties and municipalities.

Treasury is working to return more than $5 billion to its rightful owners, including over $275 million to Montgomery County residents. More than one in ten Pennsylvanians is owed unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth over $1,000.

Unclaimed property can include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policies, contents of forgotten safe deposit boxes and more. State law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy.

Treasury holds tangible unclaimed property for about three years before it is auctioned. Proceeds from those auctions are retained in perpetuity, allowing rightful owners to claim their funds at any time. Military decorations and memorabilia are never auctioned.
