Unclaimed Funds include old bank accounts, forgotten rent or utility deposits, uncashed checks, unused insurance policies, and more. Any funds available to county parties have been deposited into Ohio Unclaimed Funds – including funds from the Ohio Political Party Fund that were collected by the Ohio Department of Taxation up to 2020. Check to ensure your county party, your family, friends and neighbors don’t have any unclaimed funds before the Haslams get the funds for a new stadium. This is YOUR money!

- REMINDER: Per HB49, the Ohio Department of Taxation as of April 2018 sent all political party funds to the state party. The state party was required to send funds to county parties. Funds were distributed on a quarterly basis.
- REMINDER: Per Am Sub H.B. 166, State Operating Budget (133rd General Assembly), the Ohio Political Party Fund was eliminated as of January 1, 2020. Ohio tax returns no longer provide an option for Ohio taxpayers to contribute $1.00 to this fund.
