Attorney General Todd Rokita is serving up more than fried Oreos and Ferris wheel rides at this year’s Indiana State Fair - he’s bringing indianaunclaimed.gov to the Midway and helping Hoosiers search for their unclaimed property.
The Indiana State Fair runs from Friday, Aug. 1 to Sunday, Aug. 17 and is closed on Mondays. Rokita’s booth is located in the Mercantile Building and will be staffed from 9 a.m. ET to 9 p.m. ET each day.
"Most Hoosiers don’t realize they could have money sitting out there waiting to be claimed - and we're making it easier than ever to find it," Rokita said. "So, while you're enjoying lemon shake-ups and prize pigs, come meet with our team, learn about our office, and reunite with your unclaimed property."
Recovering your unclaimed property is safe, secure and simple. Rokita recommends Hoosiers visit indianaunclaimed.gov and check for these types of property: unclaimed wages or commissions, money orders, safety deposit box contents, savings and checking accounts, refunds; and overpayments such as credit card balances, cell phone bills, DMV payments.
Representatives from the office will be available to assist Hoosiers with unclaimed property and provide information to help consumers protect themselves and their family from ID theft and other clever scams. Copies of Attorney General publications like the Parents’ Bill of Rights, Gun Owners Bill of Rights and Indiana Constitution will also be available.
Rokita’s office has returned over $62 million so far this year and much more is ready to be claimed. With more than $2 million returned to Hoosiers every week, don’t miss out on your chance to be next.
