Commerce Department returns $19 million to Minnesota consumers in 2012

ST. PAUL, MN – Sometimes money goes missing due to a change of address or a death in the family. That’s when the Minnesota Department of Commerce steps in to help Minnesotans find and claim what is rightfully theirs. This year alone the Commerce Department reunited 7,200 Minnesotans with $19 million in missing bank accounts, life insurance policies, safe deposit boxes, unclaimed paychecks, and other real property and financial assets – a 13 percent improvement over 2011.
“Since 2005, the Department has helped more than 84,000 Minnesotans find $163 million that may otherwise have gone missing indefinitely,” said Commissioner Mike Rothman, whose Department oversees the state’s Unclaimed Property Program. “We estimate that one out of every twenty Minnesotans has at least $100 currently being held by the State of Minnesota. Our message to Minnesota consumers is simple: this could be your money, come and claim it.”
Lakeville resident Rick Masloski is one of thousands of Minnesota consumers who benefitted from the state’s unclaimed property program this year. Masloski’s father passed away 19 years ago, and left him with more than $1,300 in unclaimed stock shares that Rick was searching for but could not find. With the assistance of Commerce staff, Masloski was able to find, claim, and cash out the shares, which were rightfully his.
“If it had not been for the Minnesota Department of Commerce, I don’t think I would have ever found these stock shares,” said Masloski, who was one consumer among many whose stock shares were mislabeled and difficult to find. “I would encourage anyone to take a few moments, check the website, and ask for assistance. I found the people at the Commerce Department to be extremely helpful and very pleasant to work with.”
Looking for unclaimed property just got easier. The Commerce Department has dramatically improved its website so that Minnesota consumers can more easily understand the program and quickly search for the names of themselves and their loved ones to determine if they have any unclaimed property being held by the State of Minnesota.
Additionally, the Department announced this week the rollout of a “FastTrack” system that will expedite the process for consumers with smaller claims. Minnesota’s online look-up functions on MissingMoney.com have been enhan .....
