"It's great to know that this money is back where it belongs to benefit the many people who rely on ChesPenn to get the healthcare they need.

Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity

"As an avid advocate for accessible healthcare, I'm proud to see these funds go back to an organization that plays such a vital role in providing medical, dental, and behavioral health services to our residents. This money will strengthen ChesPenn's ability to serve those who need it most, and improve the health and well-being of our community. I encourage all Pennsylvanians to check if they have any unclaimed property - you never know how it might make a difference in your life or in the lives of others."

Sen. John I. Kane (D-9)

The $44,548.55 returned to ChesPenn includes 100 individual properties ranging in value from $5.15 to $5,850. The oldest property dates back to 1986, while the most recent is from 2019. Properties returned include funds from accounts payable checks, credit balances, expense checks, claims payment checks, uncashed checks, utility refund/deposit, and other forms of unclaimed property.

ChesPenn Health Services provides medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare at its locations in Delaware and Chester counties.

Treasury is working to return more than $4.5 billion in unclaimed property to its rightful owners. More than one in ten Pennsylvanians is owed unclaimed property, and the average claim is worth about $1,600. Treasurer Garrity has returned more than $17.7 million to nearly 100 local government agencies, including counties and municipalities.

Unclaimed property can include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policies, contents of forgotten safe deposit boxes and more. State law requires businesses to report unclaimed property to Treasury after three years of dormancy. Treasury keeps tangible unclaimed property for about three years before it is auctioned. Auction proceeds are kept in perpetuity for owners to claim. Military decorations and memorabilia are never auctioned.
