URGENT UPDATE: Lauderdale County residents are set to reclaim potentially lost funds during an important unclaimed property event on November 7, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Lauderdale County Government Complex. This initiative, in partnership with State Treasurer David McRae, aims to help residents discover if they have unclaimed money waiting for them.
Officials confirm that countless residents may be unaware of funds owed to them that have accumulated due to various reasons, including uncashed checks or dormant bank accounts. After a period of five years, these funds are turned over to the State Treasury, which is dedicated to returning the money to its rightful owners.
Since taking office in 2020, Treasurer McRae has announced the successful return of over $150 million to residents across the state. This event is crucial for those in Meridian and Lauderdale County who might be among the thousands missing out on their entitled funds.
Residents attending the event will have the opportunity to consult with county and state officials about their unclaimed money. They will also learn about the claims process, including necessary documentation and answers to frequently asked questions.
To prepare for the event, residents can visit treasury.ms.gov to search for unclaimed money under their names. A comprehensive list of unclaimed funds specific to Lauderdale County can be found online, offering a chance for many to recover what is rightfully theirs.
Don’t miss this vital opportunity to potentially reclaim lost resources. Share this information with friends and family who may benefit from this event, and mark your calendars for November 7!
