California unclaimed property plan prompts budget concerns
The state holds about 4.8 billion in unclaimed property since the program began and last year used 630 million to balance the budget. Only 239 million has been claimed, with notable items including a 1.2 million watch and a 25 000 sapphire ring. Officials note aggressive collection and limited outreach, while advocates say the system keeps funds in state coffers.
