Whereas, individuals with disabilities and their families should have access to the same kinds of savings tools that are available to the broader population. The Palmetto ABLE Savings Program currently provides nearly 2,000 South Carolinians with disabilities the opportunity to save for their future without losing government benefits; and
Whereas, the rightful owners of unclaimed property, or their heirs, always have a right to claim property held in custody by the State Treasurer's Office. The South Carolina Unclaimed Property Program returned $33.4 million last fiscal year and currently has more than $700 million in unclaimed funds available for claim. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize Wednesday, April 14, 2021 as "State Treasurer's Office Programs Day" in South Carolina and encourage individuals, families, and businesses to learn more about the consumer-facing programs offered at the State Treasurer's Office.
