Treasure Hunt coming to Jonesboro

/Contributed


Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – June 9, 2024 – Arkansas State Auditor Dennis Milligan will bring the mobile version of his Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt to Jonesboro on Tuesday, June 11.

Milligan and his staff will be at the Jonesboro Municipal Building at 300 S. Church Street from 9am-12noon.  Following the stop at City Hall, Milligan will speak at the Jonesboro Rotary Club meeting at St. Bernards Auditorium.

Milligan said the mobile effort is an opportunity for his staff to work one-on-one with residents to find and submit claims for unclaimed property.

What exactly is unclaimed property? “Each year, businesses and government agencies, also known as “holders,” report millions of dollars to the Auditor of State’s office. Then the Auditor of State’s office diligently tries to reunite owners with their lost assets. Unclaimed property includes, but is not limited to, savings and checking accounts, unpaid wages or commissions, stocks, bonds, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, cashier’s checks, money orders, and contents of safe deposit boxes.”
