Maryland has a plan to reunite many people with property that is legally theirs. Feb. 1 marked both Maryland and national “Unclaimed Property Day.”
The Maryland Comptroller’s Office is responsible for all unclaimed property in the State. Last year, $81 million was returned in unclaimed funds. This February marks the start of a new campaign to help more people get their own unclaimed stuff. There are hundreds of thousands of Marylanders with unclaimed property, including thousands of residents in Montgomery County. I encourage you to visit this link to learn about how to make a claim.
