Unclaimed Funds: Could You or a Family Member Be Owed Money?
You or someone in your family might have unclaimed money—and not even know it. Every year, organizations like banks, insurance companies, and corporations turn over forgotten or inactive accounts to the State Office of the State Comptroller.
This unclaimed money could come from:
- Forgotten bank accounts (savings, checking, CDs)
- Uncashed paychecks
- Stocks, bonds, or mutual funds
- Insurance policies or benefits
- Utility or security deposits
- Court funds or estate proceeds
By law, these organizations must make an effort to contact you—usually by mail or publishing notices in newspapers. Still, billions of dollars go unclaimed and are transferred to the Office of Unclaimed Funds.
Yes, It’s Legitimate
Each State operates a secure, government-run website where you can check if any funds are owed to you. This is a legitimate service that helps people recover money held by financial institutions, corporations, courts, and other entities.
To see if you or a relative has money waiting to be claimed, visit official unclaimed funds website or similar government-operated resources.
