ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – You might have unclaimed money waiting for you at the Orange County Clerk’s Office.
According to the clerk’s office, the unclaimed checks were issued but never cashed. This might have happened because the recipient moved and didn’t update their address, or simply forgot about the check.
