State Treasurer Curtis Loftis may be looking for you. That’s because his office has more than $79.2 million in unclaimed funds that belong to people living in Charleston County.

“Did you know one in 10 people have unclaimed funds? An important part of our work at the State Treasurer’s Office is returning unclaimed property to its rightful owners, and it’s probably one of the most enjoyable parts of my job as your State Treasurer,” Loftis said. “We know this money can make a meaningful impact on our citizens, local businesses, churches, schools and charities.”

Currently, the State Treasurer’s Office has more than $750 million in unclaimed property across the state. Millions of dollars are transferred to the program annually by companies that cannot locate the owners. Here are just a few Charleston County residents who have funds at the State Treasurer’s Office:

Preston Reid of Charleston

Thomas Hubbard of Charleston

Kimberly Bowers of Mount Pleasant

Jamie Reich of Mount Pleasant

Terry Dimiceli of Ladson

Cheryl L. Damato of Ladson

Steven Muckenfuss of Hollywood

Caitlin Scott of Hollywood

Karlea Pack of James Island

John Tressy of James Island


If your name is on this list, it’s easy to claim your funds on the State Treasurer’s website

“We encourage people to check their names on our website a couple of times a year, as it only takes a minute to see if you have any unclaimed property,” Treasurer Loftis added. “It's a free service, and you can often receive your funds in a few weeks.”

Examples of the types of property covered by the program include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance proceeds and forgotten utility deposits. The State Treasurer’s Office serves as custodian of unclaimed funds and holds them until claimed by the rightful owners.
