Franklin County residents due $343 million in unclaimed funds

Ohio is holding more than $343 million owed to Franklin County residents, most of whom probably don't even know they're missing money.

• That's $343,077,408.09, to be exact — and some of it might be yours.

How it works: Banks and businesses regularly send unclaimed funds to the state from places such as inactive financial accounts or uncashed last paychecks.

• The Ohio Department of Commerce's Division of Unclaimed Funds holds the money until its rightful owner submits a request.
