Comptroller’s staff to be in Dunkirk

Staff from New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office will attend community events around the state this month to help residents search for lost and forgotten money, also known as unclaimed funds.

DiNapoli oversees more than 37 million unclaimed funds accounts valued at $15 billion until the money can be returned to its rightful owners.

“I encourage everyone to come out and search for money that may be waiting for them,” DiNapoli said. “We return more than $1.5 million a day to residents across the state, but we want to do more. It’s your money, we want to give it back.”

The billions in unclaimed funds come from old bank accounts, utility deposits, uncashed checks, insurance claims, stocks and other sources that have been dormant for a number of years. Some accounts hold money that has been lost and forgotten since the 1940s.

The city of Dunkirk will hold an unclaimed funds event on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Dunkirk City Hall, 342 Central Ave., in the Mayor’s conference room on the second floor.

Residents who cannot make it to the event can search for and claim their money by using the online claiming system or by calling 1-800-221-9311.

Health board

The Chautauqua County Board of Health will hold its meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the HRC Building, Fourth Floor Conference Room, 7 N. Erie St., Mayville. Anyone seeking further information or wishing to attend this meeting should call the Public Health Director’s Office at 753-4590.
