There is no central repository for unclaimed funds, nor
is there any true national unclaimed property database.
Each state and the District of Columbia maintains its own
lost money list. |
 |
| Search unclaimed money by state where family
members have lived or worked, as well as popular
corporate domiciles like New York and Delaware. |
| Check all variations of your name, including
maiden and previous married names, middle names,
initials, even nicknames and common misspellings. Do the
same for deceased family members - you may be entitled to
an unclaimed inheritance. |
| Unclaimed property databases online contain
only a fraction of accounts actually available for claim,
and certain types of unclaimed funds are excluded
entirely, including many types of government checks and
refunds. |
| Unclaimed money owed by federal agencies (US
Savings Bonds, IRS refunds, Social Security and VA
benefits, etc.) is not included in state unclaimed
property databases... |
