Welcome to the Auditor-Controller’s website for uncashed County checks (legally referred to as County “warrants”).

Contained here is the inventory of all San Benito County checks (excluding those checks that are considered private, such as welfare payments, child support, and employee payroll) that have been issued and mailed, but which remain uncashed for a period exceeding 60 days.

You are welcome to search our uncashed check list, found on this page, to determine if either you or your company is present. If you feel you are the rightful owner of a particular check, please follow the prescribed claiming procedures  (revised May 15, 2024) found on this website.

Uncashed checks that are listed on this website can be reissued prior to the County’s escheatment process. The escheatment process, according to California Government Code §50050-50056, requires that individually issued checks in excess of $15, which remain uncashed for three years or more, be published once a week for two successive weeks in the local newspaper. If a verified claim for the reissuance of the uncashed check is not filed within forty-five days of the first publication in the local newspaper, the unclaimed funds become property of the County and can no longer be claimed. The County Board of Supervisors may transfer the unclaimed property, by resolution, to the County’s General Fund.

Any questions you might have regarding these procedures, or about the website in general, should be e-mailed to CAUDUncashed@sanbenitocountyca.gov.
