Your state keeps money that may belong to you. Each year, due to death, inadvertence or forgetfulness, more than 200,000 people and organizations lose track of monies, rights to monies, and intangible property in just the state of Ohio. Several million citizens across the United States are in the same boat!
Common sources of unclaimed funds include:
$ dormant savings and checking accounts
$ unpaid insurance policies
$ underlying shares of stock
$ unreturned rent and utility deposits
$ forgotten layaway deposits
$ credit memos
$ unclaimed wages or commissions
$ securities
$ undelivered and uncashed stock dividends
$ credit balances
$ uncashed checks
$ intangible contents of safe deposit boxes
Ohio has more than 2.6 million accounts worth over $700 million in its custody, and its diligent efforts to locate missing owners and reunite them with their lost assets has been successful year after year. Most states have similar search databases, like Ohio, where you can search by name. According to the information from the state of California, “The State of California is holding more than $5.1 billion in Unclaimed Property. Last year, more than 328,000 accounts were returned, and the average amount received was almost $900! There are 8.2 million accounts, so there is a good chance that you, a friend or family member has unclaimed property.”
Find states you resided in and go hunting for cash!
