 Unclaimed Cash & Property 

Find Your Unclaimed Money
by Michelle Jones

Did you know you may have unclaimed cash (also referred to as unclaimed property) just waiting for you to come and claim it?  These unclaimed funds can be anything from forgotten checking or savings accounts, undeliverable tax refunds or leftover credits from mortgage payoffs.  To locate unclaimed money that might be yours just select your state's Unclaimed Property Division as I've listed below and then do a search for your name.  There is no charge for this! 

Although I wasn't able to find any unclaimed money for our own family (and I checked several different states that we've lived in over the last 20 years) I thought it would be helpful to provide these resources for our readers who might have missing money out there, somewhere.  You just never know!  

Here's a sample of the great feedback we've received from our readers searching for unclaimed cash through our links... 

"Hi, As a home school family of 10 (Some working, some in college, some schooling at home, but all are still living at home)... I pour over your free monthly Better Budgeting Ezine.  I checked the Michigan Dept. of Treas. for unclaimed cash and sure enough my mother had some coming from her father (my grandpa) and my mother-in-law found money from her husband! I really felt like I did my good deed.  They were so thrilled to receive the unclaimed cash.  I'm really thankful for the good articles and I do consider how I can implement some of them into my own life.  Thanks again for putting all this together and keep up the good work!  God bless you all.  Sincerely, C. Kimberley"

"Wanted to pass on a blessing.  We just received a $2275.00 check from the state of Ohio from unclaimed funds.  Your information made us check it out.  We have bought a water softener and a hot water tank that we have needed for over a year and have prayed about for some time.  God bless you and your ministry. - G. and L. West"

Tip! 

If you've lived in more than one state be sure to do a search for each one, and consider searching maiden names when applicable.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Also, if you find your State Treasury Department in our free listings below has moved their web site please let me know so I can update your State's link right away.  Thanks for your help!!!

Editor's Note: When I first started working on this project I also found that a few states are actually auctioning off unclaimed property, with a direct link to ebay--what a shock that was!  If your state Web site for unclaimed cash has moved please contact us right away so we can keep our list up to date... let's get these funds back to their rightful owners!
