Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Rep. Alec Ryncavage Return Nearly $55,000 in Unclaimed Property

Nanticoke, PA - Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Rep. Alec Ryncavage (R-119) announced today that nearly $55,000 in unclaimed property has been returned to residents across the 119th legislative district, following a recent event held at Rep. Ryncavage's office in Nanticoke, Luzerne County.

"Nearly $55,000 is a significant amount of money to put back into the hands of Pennsylvanians who earned it, and that's exactly why Treasury continues to bring our unclaimed property program to communities throughout the Commonwealth. A huge thanks to Rep. Ryncavage for opening his office to Treasury and helping return this money to its rightful owners."

Since taking office in 2021, Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $1.2 billion in unclaimed property, including a record of over $334 million last year.

"Government works best when people can see the results, and returning nearly $55,000 directly to people in our community is a pretty good result. This is money that already belongs to our residents, and I'm proud that our office could make it a little easier to get it back into their hands. I want to thank Treasurer Garrity and her team for bringing Treasury directly to Nanticoke and helping our neighbors recover what is rightfully theirs."

Treasury is working to return more than $5 billion more to its rightful owners, including over $68 million available to residents in Luzerne County. More than one in ten Pennsylvanians have unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth over $1,000.

Unclaimed property includes things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks and more. It can also include physical assets, such as collectible coins, jewelry and savings bonds, that most often come to Treasury as the contents of safe deposit boxes.
