Reynolds releases new unclaimed funds database
Just received this release from the Butler County auditor’s office:
There is over $1.5 million in unclaimed money available in Butler County. Now, citizens are a mouse click away from finding out if any of it belongs to them.
Starting today, The Butler County Auditor will post the list of unclaimed funds on the Auditor’s Web site. Over 23,000 entries exist in the database. A person visiting the site can click on the “Unclaimed Funds” icon, type in their last name, and see if they are owed any unclaimed money from Butler County.
“There are various reasons that a person might have unclaimed funds,” says County Auditor Roger Reynolds. “Forgotten bank accounts, overpayments to government entities, and unknown rebates are just a few reasons why money can be unclaimed. We are anxious to put these dollars back in the public’s hands. Hopefully, people will go to the Web site and check for their names, as well as the names of family members and friends. It may not be much money at all or it may be a substantial amount, but whatever is there rightfully belongs to that person. I want to see this money returned to citizens as quickly as possible.”
The Web site is www.butlercountyauditor.org. The “Unclaimed Funds” icon is on the home page.
Money that is found can be retrieved by contacting the Butler County Auditor or visiting the third floor of the office at 125 High Street.
