TREASURER GOLDBERG ANNOUNCES LATEST RELEASE OF UNCLAIMED PROPERTY LISTINGS

TREASURER GOLDBERG ANNOUNCES LATEST RELEASE OF UNCLAIMED PROPERTY LISTINGS

Over 44,000 New Properties are Owed to Individuals and Businesses

BOSTON - Massachusetts State Treasurer Deb Goldberg today announced the latest grouping of names that have been added to the state’s list of unclaimed property owners. Over 44,000 new properties worth millions of dollars are owed to individuals and businesses throughout the Commonwealth.

“We currently hold over $3.4 billion in unclaimed property at Treasury and it could be yours,” said Treasurer Deb Goldberg. “One in ten Massachusetts residents are owed money. Call our office today to begin the claims process.”

Unclaimed property includes forgotten savings and checking accounts, un-cashed checks, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, dividends, and the contents of unattended safe deposit boxes. Most accounts are considered abandoned and are turned over to the state after three years of inactivity. Last year, Treasury processed over 123,000 claims and returned over $104 million in property to its rightful owners.

This newly released list includes only individuals and businesses with unclaimed property over $100. Treasurer Goldberg urged all citizens to check the comprehensive list for all amounts at www.findmassmoney.com or call our live call center at 888-344-MASS (6277).

The full list of the new individuals and businesses added to the unclaimed property list was published in the Boston Globe on September 10th and will be published in the Herald on September 16th. In addition, the list of names will be published in over 30 regional and local papers.

The Treasury releases an updated list of unclaimed property assets every six months as the new accounts are turned over to the Commonwealth. There is no time limit for a person to claim this property and, in many cases, claimants will receive interest.

麻州眾議員黃子安(Donald Wong)於9月7日在他家族的九龍餐廳舉辦競選連任籌款會。他那高齡91歲的母親也親自出席支持。他說，是他的父母教會他要回饋社區。他競選連任，就是要為大家，以及下一代努力。作為一名兒子，丈夫，父親，祖父，他都很幸運，從這四個角色，他學到很多書本上學不到的東西。他也從政府工作，經商，以及扶養家庭中，學到很多，尤其是扶養家庭，要顧到醫療保險，貸款，稅，學費，就業，為家人安排時間各方面事務。
他認為，人們需要一個不是為自己，而是為麻州人民生活品質的人進政府工作。他希望能爭取到選民門的神聖一票。
這天的籌款餐會有很多發言者，其中最特別的是麻州州長查理貝克(Charlie Baker)。
同為共和黨員的他們兩人，經過三年多的在州政府共事，已成為很好的朋友。(所有圖片由黃子安提供)

My re-election fundraiser
I would love to thank everyone for coming and making this re-election fundraiser such a success. We had some great speakers. 
But the most important persons were my Mother who is 91 years old and my wife. My parents are the ones that has taught me to give back to the community. 
Today, I’m running for re-election for all of us and future generations. 
I’m fortunate to be a son, husband, father, and grandfather. I have learned a lot about life from those four positions, that you can’t learn from books.
Being in government, business, and raising a family has taught me so much. Especially raising a family; Health Care, Morgage’s, Taxes, Tuitions, Work, and scheduling your time for family.
We need a person, who is not in government for themselves but for the quality of life of people in this Commonwealth.
I humbly ask for your vote in November。(all pictures are provided by Donald Wong)
