Felder helps residents re-claim funds being held by state
Residents were able to get their hands on money they didn’t even know as theirs, thanks to state Sen. Simcha Felder, who worked with members of State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s staff to hold a “Claim Your Unclaimed Funds” event at his district office.
“The number of people who showed up was absolutely surreal,” Felder (D-Midwood-Borough Park) said, describing the local residents who came to his office on Avenue J on Feb. 25 to see if New York State was holding any funds that belonged to them.
Felder and DiNapoli’s staff members were available to assist constituents in searching the state’s unclaimed funds database and help them file claims if their names were listed.
