The Nebraska state treasurer is reminding Nebraska businesses and organizations that the deadline for remitting unclaimed property to the state is approaching.

Treasurer Don Stenberg says businesses and organizations must also submit unclaimed property reports by Nov. 1. A reporting form is available on the Treasurer's website at www.treasurer.org.

The annual report covers the fiscal year that ended June 30. Reports may be submitted on a CD to the Treasurer's Unclaimed Property Division or electronically to the treasurer's website.

State law requires a business or organization to file a report with the Unclaimed Property Division if the total value of the unclaimed property is greater than $100.

Examples of unclaimed property include health claim payments, dividends, life insurance proceeds, stocks, safety deposit boxes and unused gift certificates.
