Description

Is the State Holding Your Money? An Introduction to Escheats & Unclaimed Funds

Have you ever wondered what happens to forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks or unused security deposits? Join us for an engaging webinar featuring Shamber Gentry, assistant professor of Accounting, who will break down the concept of escheatment and unclaimed property in a clear, student-friendly way.

During this session, students will learn:

  • What escheats are and why unclaimed property exists
  • How unclaimed money is handled in North Carolina, including the official state website
  • How to search for and claim unclaimed funds, including step-by-step guidance students can use themselves

The event is virtual via Microsoft Teams. Email Stephanie Meadows at [email protected] for the meeting link.
