OLYMPIA, Wash. – Washington state residents could have some extra cash waiting for them to collect.

The state Department of Revenue said they returned an all-time high of nearly $140 million in unclaimed property back to residents this past fiscal year.

That was almost a $50 million increase over the previous year.

Banks and other businesses turn over unclaimed money, stocks and securities to the department every year for them to hold until it is collected by its rightful owner.

Revenue’s new Money Match program automatically returns unclaimed property to residents after verifying ownership without requiring them to file a claim or submit documentation.
