Unclaimed Money: Six Places to Check for Funds: Six potential sources for unclaimed money: state unclaimed property office, old paychecks, savings bonds, retirement benefits database, US Treasury, and National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. Check these resources to see if you're owed any funds.
There are billions of dollars of unclaimed money in the United States, and you could potentially be one of the owners. Unclaimed money refers to funds that belong to individuals but have yet to be claimed. It can come from various sources, such as a state government, a former employer, or even a savings bond. Here are six places where you might be able to find unclaimed money: 1. Your state: If a business or government owes you money and can't locate you, they may send it to your state's unclaimed property office. 2. Your paycheck: If you left a job mid-pay period, had unclaimed vacation days, or worked for a company that violated labor laws, you could be owed wages. 3. A savings bond: If you have an old savings bond that you've misplaced or forgotten about, it could be worth money. 4. The National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits: This database contains information about retirement benefits that have been forfeited due to lost contact information. 5. The US Treasury: If you have an old account with the US Treasury, such as a TIAA-CREF account, you might have unclaimed funds. 6. The National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators: This organization maintains a database of unclaimed property records from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To check if you have unclaimed money, you can visit websites like usa.gov/unclaimed-money or unclaimed.org. These resources can help you search for and claim any funds that are rightfully yours.
