Our unclaimed property team has been busy with events this month already in Harrison and Calhoun Counties. They have two more events coming up next week that you might want to add to your calendar if you’ll be nearby:
Tuesday, July 30, 2019
3:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Tupelo Furniture Market
1879 Coley Road, Building #5, Belden
Thursday, August 1, 2019
3:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Tishomingo County Courthouse
1008 Battleground Drive, Iuka
I want to thank the Supervisors of Lee, Union, and Tishomingo Counties for partnering with us to help the families and businesses of North Mississippi find their unclaimed property and start the process of claiming it. We are close to distributing $100 million in unclaimed property since I took office in January 2012, which is over half of all the funds distributed since 1982. And, events like these help make the process of reuniting with your money very easy and convenient.
Individuals planning to attend either of these events are encouraged to bring the following to expedite their claims:
· Photo ID (driver’s license, passport, military ID card, etc.)
· Your Social Security Card
· Proof of address (utility bill, etc.)
· Proof of name change (marriage license, divorce decree, etc.)
· If the owner is deceased, bring the death certificate, will, obituary, or affidavit of death
And, you can always check my
