What are
abandoned and unclaimed funds?
If you are owed money by any business,
and that business cannot locate you to reimburse you, they are
obligated by law to turn that money over to the state of your last
known address.
What kind
of money could be owed?
Dormant bank accounts, payroll checks, insurance policies, deposits
you made, unused gift certificates, and just about anything else you
can think of!

how much of this unclaimed money got that way - and how you can

friends!
The state is obligated to make an effort
to find you, or at the very least give you notification of the
potential money. They have an enormous incentive NOT to match you
with your money - regardless of how sincere they may seem on
this matter. You see, they get to use your money without paying
you interest! The sad fact is that most abandoned or unclaimed
funds will never be matched to their rightful owners. We
don't think this is right or fair.
Here are some quick facts:
Why do I need you to
claim my money? You Don't! In fact, we don't claim the
money - you do.
Is it difficult to make
a claim? Not at all. Most states have an easy
claims process.
How long does it take to
get my money? It depends on
several factors, including if your State Treasurer is backlogged and
whether you have provided the correct identification to them.
What is your
fee for pointing me in the right direction? $0, Zero,
Nada, Zip, Zilch. In other words - nothing.
Why are you
doing this? Someone did it
for us - and we're doing it for you.
