I was just talking about this with a co-worker two weeks ago..

Just Google your state like "Virginia Unclaimed Property" and goto the Treasury site. My Co-worker ended up getting $2500 back from some kind of insurance thing. Basically its just where a company can not find you after you move several times, and the state can not take your money so they just hold onto it until you contact them. Not a bad find at all.

[mominsky]

cool....didnt find anything for myself or my fiance, but a nice site to remember :-)

[rwilliams254]

I got money back from the state of Arizona about a year ago via a site like this. Why the thumbs down?

[techsmack]

Heard of this, but I've never known anyone who had money from it.

[SackaNub]

In the New York thread someone posted the link for all the states. I didn't find one for myself, but I've found some unclaimed money from like 5 different family members. $150 found so far. between 3 people.

[avidgolfer]

techsmack,

I have over $100 coming back to me...

[bokey]

Aren't these usually sting operations to trick really dumbass fugitives into showing up somewhere?

[NonFatMilk]

I Have over 100 in LA to claim. It takes me to the LA web site. Then asks me to register over a "secure" connection. Which, is not secure.

Thats the Louisiana Department of the Treasury fault, but still.

I had that on here originally but this site haps pretty much all the states but if you are looking for a specific state I can maybe get that too...just post if you need it and I'll see what I can do.

[mlavelle3]

State of Georgia has their own website,, So I took a look and I have some missing property from when i lived in another city.

[blazin-asian]

none for me, boo....

[Specialist23]

last time i checked i was owed 275. then taxes took a large portion of it and so my check was around the 180 range iirc. either way, extra couple of bucks for a few minutes of my time is/was well worth it.

[Magruter]

Man, no one owes me money!! I have a bunch of family that's going to be collecting some green! I should charge a finders fee.

[Phatpay]

same same....I personally hate the site because I'm getting nothing back, but one of my friends is getting back something like 300 or more....I better be getting lunch/dinner for this

Many states have websites that not only give you the ability to search online, but will provide online forms and guidance for making a claim for free. Any site that is not an official web site set up by the state you live in tries to take a percentage ranging as high as 50%. I thought all SD'ers were more resourcefu than thisl!!

So how do you find the sites that do this for free ?

[leisenstein]

Nothing for me, but I found something for my brother.

[maggiesma]

No free money for me, but my name before I got married is MUCH more popular than my married name... 1 page verses four pages, and my both last names are fairly common.

What happens if the person is deceased?

[TJ22]

What happens if the person is deceased?

If the name listed is a deceased relative or friend, only the rightful heir can claim this item. Please be advised that states require you to submit legal documents for verification; examples include a will, death certificate and others.

[flounder]

Well, repost or not, I just found I had $30.74 coming to be from a hosptial bill refund, and my dad has an unclaimed rebate check. :woot:

[PJNoFrills]

Nothing for me, but my wife had like $250! Awesome! One of them was a utiility deposit, which the form says you need documentation of "proof of ownership".. Kinda tough for an apartment rental, so who knows what will happen with that one. Thanks OP!!

I am getting 680 bucks from USC for over paid student loans from 15 years ago! OH MY GOD! YOU ROCK for posting this!!! I feel like i gotta share the money with you , casue if it was not because of this post, i would have never known . I hope they mail it to me once i fill out the forms. :) Thank you SO much!

[teeohhem]

Want to find out celebrities' addresses? This is a good way to do it...
Search for Britney Spears...she's owed 100+ dollars from a casting company. On top of that, you get to see address, whether it's former or current who knows. I just thought it was kind of cool.

[Damaniel]

My state (Oregon) doesn't participate with this site, but does have their own unclaimed money search on their website. I decided to do a search there, and apparently I'm owed some money. :) No details about exactly what, except that it was from when I lived at my previous address, and the amount is over $50. Time to fill out the form and find out what I'm getting. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread! :)

By the way, the Oregon unclaimed property search site is: http://mscfprod2.iservices.state.or.us/dsl/unclaimed_property/search.cfm

Totally agree!! Same service is offered free by states. In PA they have full page ads every so often offering the free service.

[figure8]

Will they have a problem with me living across the country now?

[mblitch]

What happens if the person is deceased?

You would need documentation that they are dead and that you are a heir (will, court order, etc).

Just by chance a couple of weeks ago I found that there was a 30 year old insurance policy that was in my father's name for my mother that we knew nothing about, so the state will soon be sending along a check for over $5000. If I hadn't be already auditing finances, I may not have known about it until viewing this thread (that uncollected debt was listed by this service). Too bad I don't also get the interest that this amount has probably accumulated over the years. Even at just 1% that would be over $1,700.

Ok has anyone ever heard of this? I just called a friend that has, according to the Ohio unclaimed funds site, $195 coming back to him from Progressive Ins. Anyway I told him about this and he said he heard that it was a gimmick and that he's never had Progressive Insurance and he thinks they might be trying to track him down because he owes them money. Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

[desireejassel]

Thanks Op I just found 388.00 from 2005. Repped.:woot:

no...but here's a question. If he's never had Progressive Ins. maybe it's from a car accident settlement? but how would he owe them money if he's never had it?

My brother is owed money from when he worked at Petsmart and quit...instead of mailing his checks to him they just held them.

Well I guess he had an accident years ago and was uninsured. He may owe Progressive because it was the other guy's insurance...

So how do you find the sites that do this for free ?

Just find the website for the Secretary of State or Treasurer for the state you live in by doing a web search. Many of them have links to databases of unclaimed property. I know Massachusetts and California have those links.

[ind0fo0]

yay! 100 bucks!!! thanks

[halliwellfamily]

glad I could help some of you. I'm trying to thing of other people I can look up. Found over $100 for my aunt and about $150 for my uncle.

[mcattack86]

[TxDavid]

Don't forget to search for relatives who have passed away. I found $3,084.28 & $2,825.42 for Insurance policies on my grandmother who passed. $5909.70!

All I found for me was $57.94 from an old paycheck.

I did find $3,528.99 & $57.93 for my brother-in law in some old Credit union accounts....
Also found around $100 for my girlfriend. I think she owes me a dinner for that one......

I was actually coming over here to post about the Texas website, so I'm glad to see the slickdealers are on top of it already. It's definitely worth your time to look!

[Tyler.Durden]

Wow, that's pretty freakin strange, I just made up a random name and there's actually a $100 redemption for this guy.

[Tyler.Durden]

There's a Bob Smith that's owed at least $25 minimum in every state.

Whoa, that's even more strange: apparently I'm owed over $100 from the state of Florida, even though I've always lived on the west coast. And my name is extremely rare, only about 10-15 other people have my last name in America.

[matt_annie]

wow, thanks! found $25.00.

[vmod32]

Weird, I have a claim to something, damn slow process to find out what it is, freaking NJ

[FuzzyNutz]

I'm not quite sure where to post this, so Moderators, feel free to move it if you need to. I already searched but didn't see this anywhere.

I found this site (missingmoney.com), that helps you find unclaimed money and property. Here's the link (http://www.missingmoney.com/Main/Index.cfm). I didn't find anything for myself, but I did find something for my mother from 15 years ago.

Here's some text from the site:

Benefits
* Officially endorsed by NAUPA and the participating states.
* Searches are free of charge.
* Data is refreshed monthly.
* A single, easy to use website to search nationally for your missing money.

Someone posted this here a long time ago -- found $1600 myself

[aidy]

$1600! My husband got $70.

[Conservative1]

$1600! My husband got $70.

Very cool however!!
Rep!

[ilikethings]

Maybe not in the right place, but useful nonetheless... thumbs up

[Gina0270]

thumbs up...i found my bfs name...maybe now ill get a damn ring....watch it be only 10bucks...then ill have to settle for a tub of hummus and some pita...oh well...

[quazywong]

Doesn't work...

[Jackhammermst]

Nothing For Me. But Cool anyhow!

[Maaman91]

I just saw this on lifehacker

[Switching2Geico]

thumbs up...i found my bfs name...maybe now ill get a damn ring....watch it be only 10bucks...then ill have to settle for a tub of hummus and some pita...oh well...

hummus and pita would be an equal substitute for your bf.

[lorirc]

thanks!

i found 270 last time. ;)

[i_am_amused]

thumbs up...i found my bfs name...maybe now ill get a damn ring....watch it be only 10bucks...then ill have to settle for a tub of hummus and some pita...oh well...

hummus and pita would be an equal substitute for your bf.

the hummus and pita will be cheaper for him in the long run...

[halbowitz]

My name is on there.
But im scared of anything that asks me for my social security number.

Can anyone verify that this is legit?

Thanks!

[Gina0270]

hummus and pita would be an equal substitute for your bf.

Hummus and pita can be an equal substitute for anythign...Makin pancakes and ran out of eggs?....just use some hummus and pita....Putting together your wall mount for your flat screen and cant find a screwdriver?....hummus and pita will do the trick.

In closing...the man just printed out a form from this and now has to send it into some state agency...he said the site does ask for your SS# but it is def legit.

If you go on the NJ state treasury site it actually links to this site to find your money. I wouldnt worry about it.

[FuzzyNutz]

I just saw this on lifehacker

To give credit where credit is due,.. so did I. That's where I found this from. I just figured that not everybody checks lifehacker or is familiar with sites like this one. I'm just tryin' to spread the knowledge.

[wildcouponlady]

Just looked but did not see any cash for me.

[Fresnian]

My name is on there.
But im scared of anything that asks me for my social security number.

Can anyone verify that this is legit?

Thanks!


i second that...!!! Please someone !!!

[Homefrrie]

Cool.. my dad is owed $100+.. what does Office of the Budget mean though? That's who owes...

[shinynblue]

Found my Uncle and deceased Grandfather on there, so I sent the link to my mother.

[gerald]

My name is on there.
But im scared of anything that asks me for my social security number.

Can anyone verify that this is legit?

Thanks!

Found a nice chunk of money for my mom on it last year. If you're not comfy with the site, follow the thread to where it says your money is hiding and go there directly. It usually takes you to a site run by a state. And if you're still not comfortable, send some snail mail to the state.

thumbs up...i found my bfs name...maybe now ill get a damn ring....watch it be only 10bucks...then ill have to settle for a tub of hummus and some pita...oh well...

Some dork being fresh on slickdeals...what else is new.

[savethepennies]

This (or similar search) gets posted every once in a while. I've never personally known anyone to actually get any money out of these searches though people keep saying they do in these threads. Worth a shot for the curious I suppose.

[lovetodeal]

My name is on there.
But im scared of anything that asks me for my social security number.

Can anyone verify that this is legit?

Thanks!

Last time when sb posted ithis site on SD, I found some money owed to my deceased MIL. My Dh's brother followed their instruction on how to claim it and got back $760.

[Buttercup19MTSU]

Nothing for anyone I know. Very cool for you all that find $$$!

[berned_you]

worthy of a repost. my deceased grandpa was on there - $1000 bucks. thanks.

[Pretzel]

Found $234 that an old employer owed me! Reppd!

[40till5]

found some for my sister

[b-rock-9]

interesting... i did some family name searches... nothin... but did see some people that have "unknown" amounts from utility companies or businesses.

You think those "unknown" claims are credits... or a crafty way to try to get money paid to them??

[alex5857]

California isn't in the database?!?! :( :(

[BigCheapSk8]

hummus and pita would be an equal substitute for your bf.

Ohhhh snap!

[jenben]

I've heard of this before, but it's nice to be reminded. Thanks a lot, OP.

[msarac1]

if you're worried about it, go directly to the state website and do it from there.

[phanham]

Cool site!

[Lauranc99]

I found my Aunt's name and sent her an e-mail...neat site, thanks OP

[Zunger]

Says i have 100+, i think it's an old check! Repped+!

[farang]

Here's an excuse to email me long lost friends!

[zenix]

i looked on here for my last name, and i told my dad that chrystler owes his dad money... he said he knew. my grandfather's been dead for 35 years...

[Zammo]

My wife is listed, under $100, cool though repped.

[mcdavey]

Yeah, whats up with the amount uknown ones?

[havahava]

My name is on there.
But im scared of anything that asks me for my social security number.

I was too but the site had featured on WTOP news (DC) so took the chance and found 65$ + interest for 7 yrs. The cheque showed up from NJ State Office and money was what MCI had charged me twice.

[FuzzyNutz]

California isn't in the database?!?! :( :(

I know,.. that affected me too. But they provide the link to California's site, so that was worth it right there. And I don't know about other state's sites that aren't represented on their database, but California's is fairly easy to use.

[april1baby]

The site I check every so often is www.unclaimed.org but I see now that they and the "missingmoney" site are affiated.

About two years ago I did a search, and found my sister's name on there. She was first denied the claim (after sending in the paperwork) but continued to pursue it. Long story short, she had a few thousand from a retirement account from a previous job.

Make sure you check every state you have either lived or worked in, and for the ladies, check your maiden name too. This is legit, so don't worry about giving your info...

[lilbear]

Yeah, whats up with the amount uknown ones?

The Police will be waiting at the door for you to show up! :omg: :lmao: :lol: :rolleyes:

[happygrl]

My name is on there.

Thanks!

It is definitely legit, the states have do this to get money back to people and after so many years teh states reclaim the money as undelliverable funds so you lose out if you don't go claim them. It is often the result of mail being returned back to them as undeliverable as addressed. Did you move? Sometimes you don't even know you have inclaimed money till you see these sites. My aunt had money after I informed her her name was on the NY list. She offered to send me a % but never did!!!!:shake:

[mcdavey]

The Police will be waiting at the door for you to show up! :omg: :lmao: :lol: :rolleyes:

Sounds more like owing money, but good try none the less. I was more curious if it could possibly be property and not monetary..:woot:

[normalicy]

I'm never so lucky.

[yoyoyo]

I got nothing either, but I did find my mom 160 bucks and a co-worker 30

[Krunk]

Looks like California's not on it either.

[Gina0270]

Q. Why do some of the property items only have limited information displayed (no dollar amount, no street address)?
A. By law many States cannot reveal the dollar amount of the property they hold, nor can they reveal the last known street address. Some States also withhold such information to prevent fraud.

[Qaid]

very nice! my dad told me a long time ago someone on ebay owed him $87
he forgot his account info but here it is...EBAY INC, under $100
so thanks op, repped

Considering I had just gotten laid off, this almost $100.00 from previous electrical company deposits, will goto very good use. Thanks Again and I hope to contribute more from now on.


Thanks,

[KUTCH]

Thanks OP.. found some in Washington state! :) Then searched my home state of CT and found some there too (CT website not through this website)! Off to hobbying I go!

[chibikiju]

Wow, thanks sooooo much. My sister found some money! Thanks!

[unknown00]

nothing for me nor my family members

[TeamSharkie]

Wow, I was really skeptical that I would have anything owed to me since I'm a college student, but lo and behold I'm apparently owed $62.01 by PG&E!! Sweet!

[Kublakhan]

Does the claim form have to be notarized before sending it in? Seems like a waste if the owner of the unclaimed property ends up not being you.

[crazymom]

Do you have to sign up on the website they send you to if you find your name?
i found mine, but when i enter the info into the website they sent me to, it says name not found.
same for a friend of mine.
Am I doing it wrong?

[turbobeans]

thanks for the info!

[thecheeseman]

my mom got 80 bucks! nothing from me though. :(

[sfonda]

Found a few family members - Very cool - Thanks!

[kristensmith]

Woohoo! DH has two postings on there! Both under $100, but what the heck. Found money. My dad is also on there and so is DH's dead aunt and dead grandmother. Guess I'll have to look into having the executors of their wills look into it. Thanks OP! Haven't checked this in a couple of years.

[.teri.]

Wouldn't you know it...the only person I found was my EX :P

[b8b]

I guess I didn't leave any money on the table ;)

[alwturner]

Both my wife and I are owed some cabbage by some corp/company...now for the hard part...retrieving it. Thanks OP!

[wheelin]

Found 1300+ for me and almost 2000 for my dad. Plus more for other family members. It's nice to be the messenger of good news. Can't wait to tell them. Thanks for the link :)

[Compliment]

Found <$100 from my grandfather....now that's a slickdeal!

[DJPlayer]

found 3 immediate members of my family who have $ owed to them.

I only get to owe other people $.. :(

[Kaliella]

I told my aunt that she had some money owed to her and after getting the $70 or so back she sent me a $25 giftcard as a thank-you! So even if you don't have any free money out there, tell everyone; they'll appreciate it.

[IwantOne]

Found some money in WA State. Thanks!

Just got the check = $85.00. Now, what can I buy :-)

[mjluneack]

Thanks. Found 2 entries from my previous employer for $100.00 +.

[soma169]

How nice !11 I have $400 unclaim... Thanks OP !!!

[Lawryloo]

Awesome, thanks! Tried to rep but it wouldn't let me. Found my husbands sister and her son money in Maine. Also found my brother in law money in Maine from his job. I think he has at least two claims and maybe another. I told them to send me some when they get their money. :woot:

[lovelyone]

My name was listed three times from my old job...called the state to claim the money...it wasn't me. LOL

I never knew my name was so common so everyone, if you can CALL, CALL first and they can verify it's you before you print out any forms and mail them in!

[billjriv]

Go to this link and look for your state,put in your name and see if you have money that the government is holding onto.My brother found $90 from Pay Pal and my friend found a $25 deposit from the gas company.Don't worry it's free. -Good luck!!

About NAUPA

About the Association

The National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) is a non-profit organization affiliated with the National Association of State Treasurers. Members represent all states and the District of Columbia. Each year NAUPA holds several meetings and seminars to provide professional education opportunities for state unclaimed property policymakers, administrators, auditors, and holders.

NAUPA provides a basic forum for continuing discussions on interstate cooperation, education, training, uniform laws, reporting requirements and increasing the public awareness of the role the states play in protecting their property. In addition to coordinating Association seminars and conferences, NAUPA publishes a quarterly newsletter and Quick Reference Handbook, which is available to its members and the public.

Mission

The mission of NAUPA is to promote and support excellence and professionalism among those individuals charged with the responsibilities of unclaimed property administration and compliance.

Goals

* NAUPA will work diligently through its membership, Executive Committee and staff to increase unclaimed property awareness through educational seminars, media outreach and legislative activities.

* NAUPA will promote and assist in compliance efforts, while at the same time, reuniting owners with their property.

* In these efforts, NAUPA and its members will work diligently to promote uniformity among states whenever possible.
Role of the States

All states make a diligent effort to locate the missing owners and reunite them with their lost assets. With a few exceptions, there is no cost to the owner. The states use publications such as newspapers, inserts, and mailings to notify owners of their property and how to claim it. Other outreach methods include booths at state fairs and shopping malls, legislative contacts, cross-referencing state license information, and the Internet to name a few.

History of Unclaimed Property

The origin of unclaimed property law dates back to British common law. Abandoned land was returned to the king along with the transfer of the property rights. Today, this concept has been adopted by the states and applied to intangible property as well as tangible property, excluding real estate. The states do not take permanent title to the property but act as custodians to safeguard it for the rightful owner or their heir until claimed. In nearly every state, there is no time limitation for filing a claim.

My aunt sent me this link to a website that allows people to claim money that may be theirs.

"What is unclaimed property?

Unclaimed property (sometimes referred to as abandoned) refers to accounts in financial institutions and companies that have had no activity generated or contact with the owner for one year or a longer period. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed dividends or payroll checks, refunds, traveler's checks, trust distributions, unredeemed money orders or gift certificates (in some states), insurance payments or refunds and life insurance policies, annuities, certificates of deposit, customer overpayments, utility security deposits, mineral royalty payments, and contents of safe deposit boxes."

I personally didn't find anything for myself, but my aunt got $20 for herself, and found $500 that was owed to her son from a previous employer.

Part of my job actually is to research my company's uncashed checks to vendors and employees, and if they're not claimed, I then send the money to the state and that's where people can look. I've also looked for my parents and friends and found some money.

One thing I will say is if you ever see an ad from a company offering to find you unclaimed money at a cost, don't do it! States are legally required to post all of their unclaimed property for free, so always go directly to the state!

Also, if you ever see a letter from a company indicating you haven't cashed a check, do not ignore it. It's much easier when I have one of our checks reissued than the payee going to the state. I can't tell you how many people ignore my letters! :shake:

don't checks normally "expire" after 90 days?

[pepper540]

don't checks normally "expire" after 90 days?

Sure there's always "void after 90 days" but on the payer's side, it's still uncashed so we are legally required to research it. If the payee comes back and says it's still owed, even after 2 years (which I've experienced many times), then I have to void and reissue the check. Most states require companies to "escheat" uncashed checks to them after 3-5 years, so until then I try my best to send the check to the right owner :hug:

wow thanks OP! i found $75 owed to me from my old university

[newb1972]

Repped. Thanks. Found some money from my old utility company. (More than 3 years old.). In this economy every dollar counts. Thanks again.

[blommer]

I got some money back using this site less than a year ago and I know I see something new from BestBuy. Hmmm, what could that be?

[simplygenius]

Darn nothing for me. I guess that's cause I'm always keeping tabs on what is owed to me because I always need money SD's. :)

[christayy]

That's awesome everyone!

And I'm not sure what happens to rebate checks...was it from a product manufacturer? Because idk if those would be sent to the state.

[fung]

found someone who lives on the same street and same name as me. maybe i should claim it ?!

[ny153]

manufacturer or retailer keeps the money! thats the beauty of rebates,only a certain % of people get their rebates, if 100% got their rebates then there wold be no rebates!!!


That's awesome everyone!

[Elcee]

You should try to claim it if it was your street and the same name. It probably didn't get to you because of the wrong house number.

[racraft]

don't checks normally "expire" after 90 days?

Checks never expire. As long as the account is still open, the check is valid, Even if it says otherwise.

[milksama]

Two instances of unclaimed money (of undisclosed amounts) for me... I'm hoping to hit the jackpot ;)

Thanks OP, I didn't even know something like this was available!

Remember to search all the states in which you have lived, or worked/done business, not just the state in which you currently live.

[MiserlyMom]

I checked this site a few weeks ago. My grandparents passed away 10 years ago and there was $2,000 unclaimed. My mom is in the process of getting it now.

Apparently I have funds in Nigeria and if I send them a check to help pay for transfer fees, they will give me millions... awesome deal.

[pettyhoe]

Didn't have anything for myself.. but found some stuff for my family. Preciate it!

[djkk]

Don't just check your immediate family members, check your deceased grandparents, uncles etc. Find out if they were partners in any companies and search those company names as well. Oil & Gas companies have been dump funds into unclaimed properties. You never know what you might find and depending on the probate laws etc., you might be entitled to some of the $$$$. I know of a situation where a state is listing unclaimed mineral royalty payments for recent production to individuals who purchased royalty/mineral interests in the 1930's!! Do some digging.

[billjriv]

My brother found 90$ once from an old Pay Pal account on one of these site,I on the other hand have yet to find anything.

You had batter check your facts. My post is correct.

Besides, most of the time a check will, go through without even a signature.

It is ill advised to attempt to cash old checks *unless you know the account is still open), especially ones for rebates, as the rebate processors close accounts to prevent you from cashing the checks.

Right, I actually mentioned the word escheat in my next post. And it's done with any checks. Personally, I've escheated many vendor and payroll checks.

I will second or third whoever said looking up deceased family members because I've escheated several "The Estate of XXX" checks.

Ditto with gift cards!

That's crazy, I'm owed a paycheck from a company I worked for 5 almost 6 years ago. Omg, 56.76.

Thanks, OP. I just found money for my brother and mom. Wish there was something for me, but what can you do?

Neat. Found b/w $50-$100 under hubby's name from an old utility deposit. I had searched our home state's treasury dept. website b/f, but never thought to check other states.

Quick question - how do you know how much you are going to get if you're from New York?? I just see the claim form, but no idea how much I'll be getting back. Is there any way of finding out??

$47.61 for me!

I had to actually request and receive the claim form before I found out what the values were. I think this is to stop scammers from just picking all the high dollar ones to attempt scams on.

I was checking Nevada for my parents, I don't live there. I put my name in for the heck of it and it said the MGM Hotel in Vegas owes me money????

We stayed there 5 years ago.
