“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve as Florida’s CFO, and one of my favorite parts of the job is connecting Floridians with the resources and services they need to fix their problems,” CFO Jimmy Patronis said in the release. “As we go about our daily lives of working, raising a family, or running a business, problems arise and it’s important that Floridians understand that there are many state services designed to assist them and iron out those issues.”
According to the release, Florida’s Insurance Consumer Advocate Tasha Carter will also be at the event to help policyholders who may be dealing with the claims process.
In addition, there will also be an Unclaimed Property Portal on hand to assist Floridians in collecting any unclaimed cash they are entitled to. Over the past seven years, over $2.5 billion in unclaimed property has been returned to people by the state of Florida.
