"Unclaimed Back Wages: States Launch Tools to Help Workers Recover Millions"
TL;DR Summary
The state of Pennsylvania is searching for 16,000 individuals who are owed a total of $16.4 million in back wages, with 400 of them located in the Greater Pittsburgh area. The U.S. Department of Labor has encountered difficulties in locating these workers due to job and address changes, as well as employers failing to maintain contact information. An online search tool has been created to assist individuals in determining if they are owed money, as unclaimed back wages can only be held for three years before being turned over to the Department of Treasury.
