ORLANDO, Fla. – There are more than 9,000 uncashed checks being held by the Orange County Clerk’s Office, and you have until Sept. 1 to see if you have money coming to you.
The Orange County Clerk of Court Tiffany Moore Russell said the money comes from uncashed vendor payments, refunds, restitution and cash bonds worth as little as one cent and as much as $14,000.

Russell said the checks were mailed, but never cashed. Maybe the recipient moved away, or maybe they got the check and forgot to cash it.
Either way, individuals, businesses and organizations have until Sept. 1 to see if there is an unclaimed check in their name and claim it.
