(AP) — Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg has been traveling across Nebraska to deliver unclaimed property checks and lost money to local governments and other entities.

At a news conference Thursday in Scottsbluff, Stenberg delivered a check for $92 to the mayor of Gering and a check for nearly $227 to the Scottsbluff Rural Fire Department.

Two weeks ago, Stenberg delivered a check for $7,320 to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney and spent time at the state’s unclaimed property booth at the Buffalo County Fair.

So far this year, the state treasurer’s office has returned more than $6.2 million, covering 11,000 claims. The average size claim is $558.
