Clay County residents and business owners: there may be money waiting to be claimed by you.
Annually, the Finance Office of Clay County Clerk of Court and Comptroller Tara S. Green reviews unclaimed and uncashed checks. If the money has not been claimed in more than a year, officials make the public aware to give people one last chance to cash in.
Right now there are more than $7,300 in unclaimed funds from 2019.
According to the Clay County Clerk’s Office, the money comes from nearly 200 uncashed checks for jury service, witness, overpayment, refund, cash bond or garnishment deposits.
While some check amounts may be as small as $5, there are others worth hundreds of dollars.
The checks listed in the below document were mailed more than a year ago but have not been cashed.
