Cash Unclaimed Media Room

Kansas is utilizing the media to spread the word on unclaimed money. Kansas state authorities are now turning towards media in order to familiarize people with the concept of unclaimed money easily as they believe media to be one of the greatest influences in the lives of people.

Kansas state authorities are dealing with the growing pile of Kansas unclaimed money and they believe improving the awareness among the people is the only way they are going to get relief from this problem. As per the state treasuries, there are about $221 million dollars of Kansas unclaimed property still lying with them and are still waiting for the rightful owners to come and claim them. The rate at which the pile is increasing is the biggest concern for the treasuries now.

With total records 1,200,000, the state agencies managing these funds are finding it very difficult to locate the rightful owners. With the advent of Internet, and with other media sources like the newspaper, the state agencies have started to spread awareness and create a unique and simplified method for reclaiming procedure. To some extent, the state believes that they have succeeded too, as the figures show that last year around $15 million of unclaimed money was returned to the rightful owners.

The state is now introducing initiatives such as press releases and advertisements in the newspaper about the Kansas unclaimed property lying with the government. Now, every state is maintaining their dedicated websites so that people do not have to wait in the office of State Treasuries. These websites have all the information related to unclaimed properties and all the person has to do is enter his or her first and last name and match the results accordingly.

The state fairs organized every year claim to provide on the spot results to the people on a walk-in basis. The authorities are even using different media forms like Television in order to reach out to the people and make them realize their responsibility towards claiming Kansas unclaimed money.
