Treasurer Brad Briner made his first “big check” presentation at Shaw University. Briner was able to get $59,790 back to the University as part of the state’s NC Cash Program.
Shaw leaders initially found the property and came to the Department of State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division to see how they could get it back. The team worked together to get the vendor checks, credit balances from other businesses and more back to the school.
Briner met with Shaw University President Dr. Paulette Dillard on Friday to present the check.
About the Program:
Unclaimed Property consists of bank accounts, wages, utility deposits, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, bonds, and contents of safe deposit boxes that typically have been abandoned for one to five years. Funds become unclaimed because the company loses track of the consumer, due to an incorrect address or other missing information. By law, these funds are escheated, or turned over, to the Department of State Treasurer for safekeeping until claimed.
