Escambia Area Residents Have Over $66 Million Unclaimed With The State. How About You?

December 10, 2023

Escambia County arrea residents have over $66 million in unclaimed money and property available from the state.

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis has launched the the Holiday Money Hunt and is encouraging Floridians to spread the word and search to see if you or your business has Unclaimed Property that has been unknown or lost and ready to recover.

CFO Patronis is on a mission to celebrate the holidays and return every last cent back to its rightful owners. Since CFO Patronis took office in 2017, more than $2.2 billion in unclaimed property has been returned to Florida citizens.

“I am excited to kick off the Holiday Money Hunt this holiday season and spread the word about unclaimed property in Florida. During the holidays, everyone can use a little extra cash, and an unexpected check from the State of Florida may help make things a little brighter this year. I am going to be working throughout this month and next to get the word out about Unclaimed Property and I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity. One in five Floridians has unclaimed property just waiting to be claimed and it only takes a few minutes to search now by visiting FLTreasureHunt.gov.”,” Patronis said.

    A few times a year I check the site and enter many family and friends names. I have found multiple names and amounts and then notify the rightful owner to let them know its there. Definitely worth the time it takes to look. Everyone I know of has received their monies.

    I’ve tried to get a small insurance paid premium from my mother. All required documents sent to the State, the State says can’t prove she was my mother: even with my birth certificate! They need a a copy of a bill to prove what I state! She died over 4 years ago where the heck can I get a copy of a bill?? Process sounds easy but if not claimed money goes to the State.

    I’ve been trying since 2013 to get the funds from the state. The process is NOT easy. No one answers the phone either. So, in theory this sounds great. But the state doesn’t want to hand over the money.
