WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital received a nearly $85,000 windfall Tuesday that officials hadn’t realized was due them.
West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore came to Wheeling to personally deliver a check for $84,953 to the hospital from the state’s unclaimed property fund. He explained funds that are determined to be “dormant” — such as unclaimed checks, inheritances or insurance settlements — find their way to his office and the unclaimed property fund.
The money to Wheeling Hospital was largely from an insurance settlement and uncashed vendor reimbursement checks, Moore said.
