Why South Dakota Needs an Unclaimed Property Trust Fund

Interview with State Treasurer Josh Haeder

“Over the last decade… we receded in about $1.5 Billion, that is with a B, we still have claimable by rightful owners $1.2 Billion. Now, get this. Most people ask me how much money we have earned on that money over the years, they are flabbergasted when I say ZERO. 100% of that $1.2 Billion has been spent, And you are correct, it is carried as a perpetual liability to the state of South Dakota.” - State Treasurer Josh Haeder
