Oregon Uses Public Outreach Programs To Return Unclaimed Property
To deal with its unclaimed money problem, the government of Oregon has declared to take help of public outreach programs. These programs are likely to include press releases, presentations, address research, and provision of refined databases on their websites.
Oregon is another part of the U.S. that has been suffering with the increasing rate of unclaimed cash and properties with their state comptroller’s office. After many efforts to get rid of these properties and funds, they are now finally moving towards a more refined category of public outreach programs.
Currently, Oregon comprises a total amount of $380 million in unclaimed money, belonging to over 2 million individuals and families. Last year, Oregon attained a success rate of returning $18 million of unclaimed money to their rightful owners. This return rate experienced only 23000 wrong claimed cases that they plan on returning back this year, through their public outreach programs.
These public outreach programs will help the unclaimed money searchers to reach their share of Oregon unclaimed property in an easier and customized way. To refine the search, the Oregon government has made some new additions on their money claim website. These include addition of claim number for easy tracking of claim, provision of attaching more than one item to the claim and introduction of customized claim form for proofs.
Aside from this, the website has also been updated with increased and updated databases that can be searched 24/7. Use of press releases, presentations, owner outreach programs, promotional items, current address research, and direct mails to owners with million dollars of unclaimed money has also been made a part of their public outreach program. For further queries and information regarding this program or to make a search for your unclaimed money in Oregon, one can visit their official money claim website at https://www.oregon.gov/DSL/UP/index.shtml.
