The Comptroller also has monies received pursuant to the Abandoned Property Law belonging to counties, cities, towns, villages, school districts and public employee organizations.
For example, the Comptroller currently lists funds belonging to the following entities:
COLUMBIA GAS TRANSMISSION CORP |
UTICA FIRST INSURANCE CO |
EXCHANGE INSURANCE CO |
NEW YORK STATE ELECTRIC & GAS CORP |
CITIBANK NA NATIONAL COMPLIANCE GRP |
SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUBS INC |
STATE OF CALIFORNIA |
TD BANK NA |
BANKERS TRUST CO |
