State treasury returning unclaimed money to victims of natural disasters

Mississippi’s treasurer says the unclaimed money program has already returned about $5 million to disaster victims and will continue.
The office uses an automatic ‘money match’ system to send checks to affected residents without a phone call.
Treasurer David McRae says survivors will receive checks by mail and should deposit them promptly.
Officials say the program does not reduce state or federal disaster relief for those who qualify.
The effort follows previous disaster recovery actions, including after the March tornadoes in Wathall County.
Recipients are told to verify the legitimacy of checks via official treasury communications.
The program prioritizes disaster-affected counties identified by the state and aims to expedite relief.
The report is part of ongoing recovery coverage from WDAM after January’s ice storm in north Mississippi.
The news outlet notes the program aims to support survivors without requiring phone calls.
