Your Unclaimed Money.org FAQs
What is unclaimed money/property? While state laws vary in periods of dormancy (inactivity), a wide range of reportable property includes but is not limited to dormant checking and savings accounts, uncashed money orders, cashiers checks, unclaimed insurance benefits, mineral royalty payments, safe deposit box contents, unused gift certificates, unclaimed security deposits, cash dividends, stock, court deposits, and utility deposits.
How far back can I search? The origin of the unclaimed property law dates back as far as the colonization of America. Since that time, states have revised and refined their various unclaimed property laws, resulting in over $35 billion in collections; currently held for the benefit of owners whose whereabouts are at least temporarily unknown.
Is it easy to claim my money? Yes, it is very easy to re-claim money and property that is owed to you. In most cases you will need to provide identification and documentation to help prove the money actually belongs to you. All states have specific procedures, filing requirements and forms to use when claiming unclaimed property - nearly all states maintain the unclaimed asset as custodian forever.
