Office of the State Treasurer

Financial Stewardship

The Office of the Treasurer and Receiver General of Massachusetts, headquartered in the historic State House, acts as the state's chief financial officer. This department is responsible for managing the Commonwealth's cash flows, debt management, and the investment of public funds. A key service for the public is the Unclaimed Property Division, which returns millions of dollars in forgotten assets to residents each year. The Treasurer also oversees the State Lottery, the State Retirement Board, and the Massachusetts School Building Authority, playing a pivotal role in the state's fiscal health and infrastructure development. 🏛️💸

Economic Empowerment

Under the Treasurer's leadership, the Office of Economic Empowerment creates programs to promote financial literacy and closing the wage gap. The office works to provide residents with the tools needed for financial stability, including college savings plans and financial education workshops. While the main executive office is in the State House, administrative functions like the Unclaimed Property Division are often handled at the nearby One Ashburton Place facility.
