You may have unclaimed money owed to you but don’t it.

1 in 10 Americans has unclaimed property waiting to be claimed!

Generally speaking, in Tennessee unclaimed property is intangible (examples: un-cashed paychecks, savings accounts)or tangible property (ex. safe deposit box contents), in which there has been no activity generated or contact with the owner for a one-year or longer period—at which point, it becomes unclaimed or “abandoned”.

Each year, the Tennessee Treasury  Department collects millions of dollars in unclaimed property and focuses on returning those properties to its owners through outreach efforts and its website.

Currently there’s over $976 million in Tennessee’s unclaimed property fund.

In fiscal year 2019, the Department returned a record-breaking 62,549 claims

Searching for your unclaimed property is a free service of the Tennessee Department of Treasury. If there’s a match, you can file a claim for your unclaimed property (with no fees) in three easy steps on its website

Two men escaped serious injury Tuesday in a Liberty crash.

According to Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 78 year old William Reynolds of Liberty was in a 2002 Chevy Avalanche crossing Highway 70 from a parking lot to Choctaw Ridge Road when he pulled into the path of a 2009 Dodge Ram pulling a boat driven by 36 year old Anthony Monroe of Nashville who was west on Highway 70. The Dodge Ram hit the Chevy Avalanche in the right front knocking both vehicles off the right side of the roadway. The impact of the collision caused the boat being pulled by Monroe to be ejected off the trailer onto the roadway.

Both drivers were transported to Ascension Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital.
