PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Nearly 15,000 people will soon receive a total of $2.5 million in unclaimed property checks, according to R.I. General Treasurer Seth Magaziner. People will begin receiving their missing money thanks to the 'Your Money' program, which uses state databases to match unclaimed property with a person's address so missing money can be returned automatically.
