Washington Sets Owner Reunification Records

According to a press release from the Washington Department of Revenue, that state's unclaimed property department paid out a record amount of claims (over 100,000) in Fiscal Year 2011.  According to the Department of Revenue, that record breaking performance was due "in part to a sharp increase in the number of businesses reporting unclaimed property to the state."  Regular readers may remember that just a few weeks ago, we mentioned that Nevada also broke its previous records for amounts remitted and claims paid.
