"Unclaimed Millions: State Treasurers Fight to Reunite Families with Forgotten Savings. Millions of dollars in unclaimed savings bonds, once held by loved ones, are now languishing in state treasuries across the country. State treasurers are taking a stand, arguing that these matured savings belong with their rightful heirs, rather than being held by the government. As families continue to search for lost relatives and forgotten records, treasurers are pushing for a solution to reunite these forgotten funds with their intended recipients."
The state treasurers argued that the original bond owners had died without telling heirs, lost records or simply forgot – but their matured savings deserve to be reunited with their families, not held by the government.
