Texas Comptroller uses Facebook to reach unclaimed property owners

From GovTech.com and Stateline:

“The joint study by consulting firm Deloitte and NASACT cited the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Office, which won a state award in June for an innovative social media campaign that used Facebook to target people who might have unclaimed property, such as forgotten bank accounts, mineral royalties and insurance premiums. The campaign generated more than $5 million in claims owed to Texans since December 2013.”

We applaud the Texas Comptroller for these innovative solutions to reach the public in a very productive way!
