$16 Billion In Unclaimed Property Subject Of Workshop At Cinnaminson Library

CINNAMINSON, NJ — You may have a ton of money in unclaimed property out there. After all, there is $16 billion in unclaimed property across the country, according to the Cinnaminson Library. The library is helping residents learn how to claim their possible possessions.

Lori Potpinka will host the “Hidden Treasures: Unclaimed Property” workshop at the Cinnaminson Library on Monday, Sept. 18, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The workshop will take place in the Meeting Room. The library is located at 1619 Riverton Road in Cinnaminson.

Potpinka is from New Jersey’s Unclaimed Property Administration, a state entity that recovers and records abandoned or lost intangible and tangible property. It then returns the property to the rightful owner and/or heirs.

Property owners never relinquish a right to their property, according to the administration’s website.
Money may be from forgotten bank accounts, uncashed paychecks, unclaimed refunds and other sources. Registration is requested, and can be done by clicking here.
