MIDDLETOWN, R.I. (AP) - State General Treasurer Gina Raimondo says the state has nearly $12 million in unclaimed life insurance payouts in the state’s coffers and is inviting residents to find out if they’re owed money.
The Newport Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/IX5CGL ) that Raimondo, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, told Middletown residents on Wednesday that her office is trying to return the money to its owners.
She says a new life insurance database is operating and based on state records, more than 9,000 Rhode Islanders are due money.
