Louisiana State Treasurer John Schroder has launched a new campaign to heighten awareness of the unclaimed property program. It’s called the Louisiana Cash Campaign and Schroder says it’s a renewed effort to return over 900-million dollars in unclaimed property to the rightful owner.
“So it’s like a constant thing, it’s like drinking water out of the Mississippi (River) one cup at a time and we got to keep promoting,” said Schroder.
Schroder says there’s a new website for you to check if you have any unclaimed money in your name and that’s Lacashclaim.org. He says they are also rolling out a series of digital promotions and commercials in an effort to get people to check to see if they have any money owed to them/
“We have proven that if you go do a little marketing it certainly has its results,” said Schroder.
Unclaimed property consists of abandoned financial assets like checking and savings accounts, unpaid wages, life insurance payouts, and proceeds from safety deposit boxes. Schroder says one in six Louisiana residents have unclaimed property.
‘You can go to our website, check for you and your family, don’t forget to check your business and for your non-profit we gave $20,000 to a church today,” said Schroder
