► There is no central repository or true national database for unclaimed funds.
Each state and government agency maintains it's own
lost money list. |
|
►
Search for unclaimed money in every state where family
members have lived or worked.
Also check 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 friends and relatives - you may be entitled to an unclaimed inheritance. |
►
Family members are often
unaware they're entitled to collect unclaimed money owed deceased
relatives, who passed
on without an updated will. |
►Billions
of dollars in unclaimed money are held by federal agencies.
U.S. Savings Bonds, IRS refunds, Social Security and VA benefits, etc.
are not included in state unclaimed property databases. |
