Utah Treasurer David Damschen Announces Nearly

$1 Million in Lost Property Awaits Reclaim from

Over 2,000 Sevier County Tied Residents

 

 

 

 

Treasurer Damschen, Senator Okerlund, Rep. McIff & Mayor Ogden

Urge Residents to Visit mycash.utah.gov to ID& Claim Property

SALT LAKE CITY – August 17, 2016 –Utah State Treasurer David Damschen today announced that the State of Utah's Unclaimed Property Division currently safeguards nearly $1 million in lost or abandoned property from residents and businesses with last known addresses in Sevier County. Along with all states across the nation, Utah adopted the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (1956) – ensuring abandoned or lost property of its citizens is turned over to State government – not kept by companies, employers, service providers and others.  Examples of such property included uncashed payroll checks, dormant bank accounts, overpaid bills, security deposit boxes and more.  Companies with unclaimed properties are required to transfer them each year to state governments. 

“We urge every resident and business in Sevier County to check and see if they are the rightful owner of any of this nearly $1 million,” said Utah State Treasurer David Damschen.  “Perhaps you moved and forgot you had a utility deposit or overpaid at the eye doctor five years ago.  Either way checking to see if you’ve lost property is simple, easy and something everyone should do for themselves, their families and friends.” 

“State Treasurer Damschen came to Richfield and is working hard to get this money back into the rightful pockets of Sevier County residents,” added State Senator Ralph Okerlund, who resides in Monroe. “But you must do your part and call or check mycash.utah.gov and see if you have unclaimed property - and begin the simple, streamlined claims process to get it back.”

The 2015 launch of the simplified mycash.utah.gov website and updated marketing campaign fueled a 107 percent increase in Utah’s paid claims volume. The new website makes it easier for residents to search for – and collect – money that might be theirs. In 2015 alone, a record $22.5 million was paid out to owners or descendants of owners who filed claims.

“Currently over 2,000 residents and businesses tied to our area have lost property and the average amount awaiting reclaim is $441,” said State Representative Kay L. McIff. “Each year new money is turned over, so not only should you check today – but every year.”  

Utah's Unclaimed Property Division currently safeguards a total of $370 million in unclaimed property from throughout Utah, with many states across the nation holding higher totals.  Lost or abandoned property submitted through 2015 is searchable online at mycash.utah.gov or by calling 801-715-3300.  

“We’re working together to get the word out and encourage everyone to check for their friends and families,” added Richfield Mayor David Ogden.  “We’d love to see every area resident and business help us get this funding back where it belongs – right here at home in Sevier County.”

HURRICANE , UTAH, USA, August 17, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When you were a child and you lost something, you were taught to look until it was found. Likewise, when you lose weight, your subconscious believes you’ve lost something and goes to work to find it. Even though you succeeded in changing bad habits to new ones, the weight you’ve lost becomes permission to return to your old habits.

Bryan Larson was in the best shape of his life when he graduated from the Army’s basic training at 22 years of age. Now 69, Larson struggled with fluctuating weight his entire life – from obese to overweight and back to obese – until an epiphany six years ago.

“Before my father-in-law passed away, he was over 300 pounds and was bedridden for a year and a half,” Larson recalls. “I looked at myself and said, ‘This is where I’m headed if I don’t do something.’ Honestly, it’s where a lot of people are headed if they don’t make changes in their lives.”

Today, Bryan Larson is an Emotion Code and Body Code practitioner and the founder of Excellent 4 Health, a holistic healing practice dedicated to helping people release emotional baggage, enabling them to restore their physical health and reach their full potential.

“Change is not always easy for people,” says Larson. “True health, excellent health, requires a change in lifestyle. The Emotion Code and Body Code can help change your mindset and prepare you for change.”

According to Larson, the subconscious mind has the answers to finding the pathway to complete wellness; the sub-conscious mind knows what is holding you back from having a truly abundant life.

Developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, the Emotion Code and Body Code tap into the subconscious mind to identify the cause of energy imbalances in the body.

“Negative emotions have their own energy which gets trapped within our energy,” explains Larson. “Over the years people trap different energies that slow them down. By accessing the subconscious mind, through muscle testing, in person or by proxy, I can identify where these emotions are trapped and release them. This is what the Emotion Code and Body Code is all about. It’s about finding those trapped negative emotions and releasing them so you can pursue a healthier, happier and more abundant life.

“That’s why I want to find people to help,” says Larson. “There’s so much that needs to be taught.”

CUTV News Radio will feature Bryan Larson in a two-part interview with Doug Llewelyn on August 19th and August 26th at 12pm EDT.
