In honoring the service of our veterans and just in time for Memorial Day Treasurer McKinney has announced an expansion of the patriots property list.
The patriots property program was created in November of 2009 through a partnership with the Kansas State Treasurer's Office and the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs. The list contained the names of about 10,000 Kansas veterans with property totaling about $4.5 million
Commanders of VFW, American Legions and other veteran's services should find this site to be a useful tool to help their members locate lost property. "As we look forward to this Memorial Day it is important that we recognize the service of these veterans and help them find what is owed to them" said McKinney.
The State Treasurer's office will continue to actively search for these veterans and try to re-unite them with their lost property. "We are proud of our veterans and we want to make every effort to return the favor of the great sacrifice that they have made for our country," McKinney said.
Each year thousands of people lose track of their bank accounts, cash, stocks, bonds, refunds, royalties, safe deposit boxes and other property. People move and forget to furnish their bank, broker, employer or insurance company with a forwarding address. It is the Treasurer's charge to locate the rightful owners and heirs to the over $209 million in unclaimed assets currently being held by the State of Kansas.
