It’s that time of year again, when the Sacramento Municipal Utility District seeks to unite customers with unclaimed money in their name before it’s too late.
SMUD has published its 2024 list of almost 1,500 names who have unclaimed money, with amounts ranging from $15 up to thousands of dollars. One of the highest listed amounts is more than $16,000 to BP Westcoast Products LLC.
While most names listed are for personal names of customers, business customers are also included on the list. Some names on the list are duplicates.
In a statement accompanying an alphabetized list of customer names and unclaimed dollar amounts on its website, SMUD says, “If your name or the name of a family member is on the list, we encourage you to follow up.”
According to SMUD, the uncashed checks are all dated Sept. 30, 2021, or earlier. SMUD wrote on their website that “under Government Code Section 50050-50057, unclaimed checks prior to October 1, 2021, to the persons and entities on the attached list will become the property of Sacramento Municipal Utility District on December 24, 2024.”
SMUD previously told The Sentinel the utility district goes through the process of trying to unite checks with customers each year and said the checks are mostly refunds on customer accounts that were never cashed.
Customers can make claims either through the mail or over the phone. For more information and to view the list of customers with unclaimed checks, visit SMUD’s website.
