Overview
How unclaimed property works in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania holds unclaimed property when companies, banks, insurers, courts, or other holders cannot locate the rightful owner after the required dormancy period.
The Pennsylvania Treasury maintains the official Pennsylvania unclaimed property program at patreasury.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.
KeenVPN does not hold or process Pennsylvania claims. Use the official government search linked on this page, then follow PA claim instructions and documentation requirements from the agency.
