FORI' HOOD (AP) — Fort Hood
will trim 628 employees from its pay
roll to meet with f ederal budget cuts,
which will reduce the post’s civilian
work force by about 20 percent, offi-
ials say.
Army officials said they will make
efforts to place employees in other
defense-related jobs and will encour
age early retirement w'here possible.
They also predicted that attrition
would reduce the force by 30 to 40
jobs per month until the May 1
deadline.
We realize that we’re talking
about living, breathing human be
ings depending on jobs,” garrison
commander Col. Clyde Glosson said.
‘This was not an easy decision to
make.
“The command will protect train
ing events such as the National
Training Center rotations and gun
neries conducted hy battalions and
brigades.”
An official of the Texas Employ
ment Commission’s Killeen office
mtnnsaid the impending layoffs would
ist fofloverload the area work force and his
office, which already handles about
600 claims a month.
“Wow, that’s going to be tough,”
claims supervisor Phillip Racicot said
when told of the news.
“Federal claims are much more
time-consuming than regular claims,
but we’ll find a way to handle them,”
he said.
Federal claims from Fori Hood
unemployment, including those by
retired personnel seeking employ
ment, comprise half of the Killeen
office’s work load, Racicot said.
“Our economy w'ould have a hard
time absorbing that amount of peo
ple right away into the work force,”
Racicot said, adding that it would be
the largest Fort Hood layoff since he
joined the TEC Killeen office 14
years ago.
Jobless Fort Hood workers will
find very few similar jobs in the civil
ian community offering as much
money, he said.
That’s going to put a crimp in
their ability to find work,” Racicot
said.
Texans
By Mary-Lynne Rice
Staff Writer
Hundreds of Bryan-College
Station residents have the chance
to claim their share of the more
than $60 million in lost or forgot
ten accounts that rests in the
Texas State Treasury.
About 75,000 Texans are
named in the Treasury’s annual
Unclaimed Money Fund List,
each of whom has dormant
checking or savings accounts, util
ity or safe-deposit box deposit re
funds, oil royalties or corporate
stock dividends of at least $50.
Beginning Sunday from noon
to 5 p.m., the Treasury will open
a toll-free phone line (1-800-321-
can reclaim share of lost money
Graphic by Susan C. Akin
2274) to give moneyholders in
formation on how to collect their
unclaimed funds. The line will be
open Monday through Friday
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Although those credited with
unclaimed money may be eager
to get it hack after seeing their
names on the list, they need not
worry about losing the money if
they do not act quickly, said Bill
Cryer of the Texas Treasury Pub
lic Information Office.
After three years of an ac
count’s inactivity, the funds are
turned over to the Treasury,
which divides the money equally
for general state expenditures
and federal school programs. Yet
at any time, the account holder or
his heirs may collect the money.
“If a person fails to collect his
money and after three years the
account is completely inactive, it
is turned over to the state,” Cryer
said. “People think they have to
claim the money quickly or it will
be spent. But it’s in the Treasury
forever. It will be there even 100
years from now, and they can al
ways claim it.”
Tens of thousands of calls to
the information hotline are ex
pected in the first weeks of the
money reclamation effort, he
said, and many callers will get
nothing but a busy signal.
“A lot of people will get frus
trated with us when they call and
it’s busy,” Cryer said. “We’re
asking them to be a little patient
with us. We have no interest in
confiscating their money.”
Once a caller reaches the Trea
sury, an operator will check his
name and account. In many
cases, Cryer said, all that will be
necessary to reclaim money is to
go to the bank or the company
that holds the lost account. If the
money has been turned over to
the Treasury, however, “it’s still a
simple process,” he said.
Callers will be mailed a one-
page claim form, to be signed, no
tarized and returned with proof
of identification. A check for the
total of the account will be issued
by the Treasury usually within
four to six weeks, Cryer said.
A claim form may also he re
quested by mail, at P.O. Box
12608, Capitol Station, Austin,
7871 1.
The following people, businesses
and organizations have cash in the
Texas Treasury Unclaimed Money
Fund. For information on how to col
lect property, call the State Treasury
on or after Sunday at 1-800-321-2274,
or write to the treasury at P.O. Box
12608, Capitol Station, Austin, 78711.
The line will be open Sunday from
noon to 5 p.m. and Monday through
Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers
should give their names exactly as
listed, with their address and Social
Security number.
