Ventures finds some members may have unclaimed money
By Sandra Danzuka
Warm Springs Ventures
Have you forgotten about a
checking or savings account that
has been unused for several years?
In recent years Oregon busi
nesses have had unclaimed prop
erty taken and placed in a State
of Oregon trust account. The
state's responsibility is to locate
you and reunite you with your
unclaimed money.
Until you claim your money,
it is sitting in a "common school
fund" account accruing interest
for Oregon's K-12 public
schools.
A few examples of un
claimed property are utility de
posit refunds that were left when
you moved, or maybe you
stopped receiving dividends

Each year the division re
ceives about $10 million in un
claimed property. In 2000, $6
million was returned to the right
ful owners.
Upon a random search by John
Fedoris, director of finance at
Warm Springs Ventures, there are
several Warm Springs residents
and businesses with "unclaimed
money." The web site says most
of the accounts have a value of
less than $100, and can be as little
as $10, but you will not know until
you make your claim, perhaps it
could be more.
We do not have time or re
sources to pursue this for the
membership, so we encourage
you to check the following web
site and search for your name
as well as family members who
do not have Internet access:
www.statelands.dsl.state.or.us
upintro.htm.
If you moved from another
state, the link to the National
Association of Unclaimed Prop
erty Administrators is
www.unclaimed.org, which has
links to other states' unclaimed
property program websites.
If you should find your
name on the list, the process
to claim your money is rela
tively simple. You print out the
inquiry form available from
the web site with the support
ing documentation as listed on
the form.

Youth work
program is
gearing up
The Workforce Develop
ment Department Youth Devel
opment Program is preparing
for the youth work year 2003.
All interested youth are re
quired to complete volunteer
community service work.
The intent of volunteer com

efit the people of the community.
This work can include anything
beni.ficial to the community,
such as cultural events, commu
nity events, community activi
ties, camp or club participation,
or assisting community mem
bers or elders.
Anything they participate in
will need to be verified by some
one who has accepted volunteer
work. The WEDD program will
issue a verification form to
youth for verification of com
munity service work.
Upon completion of their
community service hours, youth
will then be eligible to partici
pate in the Youth Development
Program and WIA Youth Ser
vices for after school, part-day
work, and summer work.
Volunteer work is required
before youth can collect paid
income. If you have any ques
tions regarding this work pro
gram for youth, stop by the
Workforce Development Depart
ment at 2101 W Wasco Street
or call 553-3324.
