Unclaimed Moneys
Question: How do you find out if you have unclaimed
moneys?
You need to check with each state that you have lived in
since most unclaimed moneys are kept in state controlled
accounts. Most of the 50 states in the USA have websites where
you can search for unclaimed moneys for free. There are a lot
of fake websites out there that try to look like official
government sites, so be careful. Unclaimed.org is a state sponsored
national database run by the national association of
unclaimed property administrators. This is a legitimate site
that links to all the appropriate state webpages for you to
search.
Question: How much unclaimed moneys might you have?
We've heard of people finding anywhere from $.01 up to
hundreds of thousands of dollars. It really depends on what you
left behind, knowingly or not!
