Several agencies in the city of Columbus appear on the list of state -claimed state funds

Columbus, Ohio (WSYX) – Ohio’s unqualled funds’ website has increased traffic after legislators recently approved a plan to allocate part of the $ 4 billion in the State Projects and Expenditure Fund.

Charles Ballour was surprised when he discovered that he had money waiting for an old payment 401 (K).

“Wow, it’s crazy, and that’s right for anyone,” he said after checking the Ohio united funds website. Initially, Ballour was afraid of having duty of money.

“Wow, surprised, I thought my wife, they were going to say that I had to $ 6,000 … I was going to run, be as if my name is Buford,” he said. “So I’m happy to be Charles, I’m certainly going to check it.”

Ballour is one of many residents of Ohio who now check the website of the Ministry of Commerce after state legislators approved the spending of more than a billion dollars in non -claimed liquidity that are not collected for more than a decade.

This includes $ 600 million allocated to New Browns Stadium.

An ABC 6 survey revealed that the city of Columbus also has upcoming money.

There are more than 330 accounts open for various agencies, including the treasurer office, public security, police, fires and parks and leisure. Although the site does not specify payment for each account, more than 176 accounts contain more than $ 100.

“Really, Wow, it’s great,” said Ballour, learning that the city is also due to money. The payments due to the city are in the non -claimed state fund from banks, insurance companies, public services and office equipment companies.

The mayor’s office is currently trying to provide information to ABC 6 on the stages that the city has to recover these funds and how much has been collected.

Ballour is due to less than $ 50 of his former retirement account and already plans to claim it. “If there is money for me, I will be happy to take it,” he said.
