Staff Report From South Carolina CEO
Tuesday, October 30th, 2018
Just in time for Halloween, Treasurer Curtis Loftis has scared up a list of names that are owed unclaimed property.
“No costume is necessary to receive this sweet treat,” said Treasurer Loftis. “It’s frighteningly easy to see if you or anyone you know is due unclaimed funds. Just head to our website and search your name.”
Currently, the State Treasurer’s Office has more than $550 million in unclaimed property available to give back to South Carolina citizens, businesses and organizations. Millions of dollars are transferred to the program annually by companies that cannot locate the owners. Here are a few individuals and businesses that are entitled to a treat this Halloween (Midlands names are in Orange):
