According to the Alaska Unclaimed Funds Division of the Governor's office in a recent statement, "The Unclaimed Property (UCP) staff conducts searches for property owners by selecting recently reported properties from the division's database and using online tools to locate the owners. The target is to search for 50 owners each month, however when there are fluctuations in staffing and/or workload the UCP places a priority on responding to claims requests from property owners which involves verifying claims and processing payments." In light of this, it would be in the best interests of all residents of Alaska to take some initiative, begin an online search for unclaimed money and determine if they are owed money by the state. The wild Forget-Me-Not is Alaska's official state flower, and residents would definitely not want to forget about their money being held by the Treasurer either.
