Examples of unclaimed property might include cash, paychecks, gift cards or other personal property, considered lost or abandoned, then turned over to the state.
"Often times, it can be a very simple process. Often times, we can have the money back to the rightful owner in a matter of a few days. And so, we have all that money sitting there. One in five Nebraskans have money with us and it's our job to get that money back to Nebraskans and we really want to do that," said Nebraska Treasurer Tom Briese.
