Attorney General Hill And Staff Return Nearly $400,000 In Unclaimed Money At The Indiana State Fair

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today announced that his staff helped return nearly $400,000 in unclaimed money at the Indiana State Fair.

The Office of the Indiana Attorney General operated a booth inside the Expo Hall at the state fairgrounds for 16 days. During that time, staff members helped approximately 6,530 Hoosiers with everything from consumer protections tips, signing up for the Do Not Call list and recovering unclaimed money.

A total of $398,701.58 in unclaimed money was returned to Hoosiers during the fair with several individual claims exceeding $10,000.

Hoosiers who stopped by the booth at the state fair experienced the same services that are being offered when the office’s Mobile Operations Center (MOC) visits cities and towns across Indiana. The MOC has allowed members of the communications staff to enhance public outreach, bringing constituent services to citizens statewide and further educating the public about the Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

Since May, the office has visited 51 counties and returned $84,106.52 in unclaimed money. On Thursday, Aug. 24, and Friday, Aug. 25, the MOC will visit nine counties in southwestern Indiana — highlighted by stops in Mount Vernon, Evansville and Jasper. Below is the MOC’s scheduled visits for these dates.
