Senator Joseph P.\u00a0Addabbo, Jr. is encouraging seniors to search for unclaimed money by bringing representatives from the New York State Comptroller\u2019s Office of Unclaimed Funds to local senior centers across his district. The initiative began at Sacred Heart Golden Age Senior Center in Woodhaven and the Peter\u00a0Cardella\u00a0Senior Center in Glendale, with more visits planned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through a simple name and address search, representatives help\u00a0determine\u00a0whether an individual has unclaimed funds and explain the next steps if\u00a0additional\u00a0information is needed. Many seniors discovered money through\u00a0the searches.\u00a0Searches and claims are free through the Comptroller\u2019s office. The Office returns a record $651 million annually to rightful owners (State Fiscal Year 2025\u201326) and holds more than\u00a0$20 billion\u00a0in total unclaimed funds statewide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unclaimed funds are forgotten or dormant money and property that is transferred to the state after a period of inactivity. The most comment sources are savings and checking accounts,\u00a0uncashed\u00a0paychecks, utility and rental deposits, insurance benefits, stocks and dividends, and unused gift cards.\u00a0\u201cMany of our seniors work hard their whole lives, and no one should have to wonder whether money meant for them is out there,\u201d\u00a0Addabbo\u00a0said.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m proud to bring the Comptroller\u2019s unclaimed funds resources to our senior centers so residents can check for lost money for free.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senator\u00a0Addabbo\u00a0expresses his appreciation to the senior centers for their participation and to the Comptroller\u2019s Office for its support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
