Did you know there is very possibly unclaimed money just out there waiting for you claim?
Uncashed checks from former employers, security deposits from apartments, interest from bank accounts… if you moved and the check wasn’t forwarded to you, then that money is given over to the state. To hold. For YOU!!
All you have to do is search for it and claim it!
Just head over to this Unclaimed Money map and click on your state. All of the links on the map are the official government websites for unclaimed money.
Then fill in your info into their form and you can check to see how much unclaimed money you have just floating around out there. Then you can download a form (one for EACH amount of money) and send the forms in to claim the amounts.
The last time I posted about this, one reader (see the comments below) found $6,000 that she didn’t know about!
Be sure to check all previous last names and all of the states that you have ever lived in.
So… did you guys find some money that you needed to claim? I can’t wait to hear about it!!

Thanks for sharing. I had a some money owed from a former employer.
I just went over there and it appears I have unclaimed money from a house I almost bought but it didn’t say how much? Goodness that was years ago! How did you find out the amount owed to you?
I had like $250 unclaimed & it arrived while I was out with NO pay on maternity leave def a blessing!! 🙂

Thanks so much for this!! I found just over $100!!!! 🙂
Andrea – Once you click on your state, there should be a button that you click on that says “Search Unclaimed Property”. Once I clicked that I could put in our names into the search box and do a search.
the one for georgia just shows property like real estate that is it
We just found about $1400 from an old Escrow account! WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
We had some from a utility deposit and some from overpaid insurance premiums!!! Can’t wait to get some checks in the mail!!!

Joanne – OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
Laura – What state are you in?
I know!!!! And just after my boss told me that I’ll be getting a cut in pay for a while. God is good!
georgia
yeah taht is the problem i was havin it was just pullin up property in georgia
It looks like Georgia is a little different than the rest of the states for this. I’ll look around and see what I can find!
Thank you SO much! I found unclaimed money from an insurance company, a bank, and Verizon. No idea how much though, how did you find out the amount? Again, THANKS! Without you i never would have known about this….gonna tell all my friends 🙂
thanks, youre so sweet to do so! really…you are 🙂
LOL, nothing here….guess that means we did a good job keeping track of everything? 🙂
I had $1.84. ha ha ha. But i refuse to give out my social security number for less than $2.00. Thanks though.
Yay!! I had $58 and my hubby had $122!!! Thank you!
Also it says my son is owed money from a Dentist that we’ve never been to. Hmmmm….
I cant find it. I’m in wv and its asking for the name of my business???
I found some money unclaimed for my husband, but it doesn’t say the amount. I hope it’s more than a couple of bucks
I guess you just have to submit the paperwork to really find out if it’s your money, right? Gosh I hope so, cause we could use the $600 or so it says we have….
i found some for my hubby, hopefully its alot. We need it.
My late grandparents have about $1000 listed. Can my mom claim it as part of their estate (even though my grandfather died almost 17 years ago?)
I may have found something… Georgia doesn’t give details so I sent away for the claim form. I’ll keep you posted.
ever find any leads on how to get the info for those in GA? just curious:)
@ Laura Letz.. Here: https://etax.dor.ga.gov/unclaimedproperty/main.aspx
yes, thank you. thanks for unclaimed property. we were trying last week to figure out how to find the link to unclaimed monies, like the other states were showing.
Laura – I think Georgia just words it a little differently and that “unclaimed property” from the Georgia Revenue Dept. includes unclaimed money.
Yes the money is also found under unclaimed property.
I saw I had something from an old employer but didn’t say how much. We’ll see!
We have $100 waiting for us!
I just found a little over $6,000 for my husband. I really hope it works out because we could sure use that much money right now. Wow thanks for the post……what a huge blessing this would be.
I did this a couple of months ago and finally sent in for my 17 bucks. Hey better then nothing. 🙂
Oh my goodness you guys… I just had to share this over here too! A reader just left a comment on the post saying that she found $6,000 in money for her husband that was just floating around out there! Woohoo!!!
Thanks, yes, I found $50 and my husband found $25 from overpayments/deposits with utility companies from over 10 years ago. Every little bit helps!
I just received our two checks for total of $250!!! Thanks again!
How do you claim the $?
Ron Raye
Long story, but I found $3000 owed to us this way as well!
I just found 2 claims for my hubby :). Doesn´t specify the amounts though
I did a search one year… didn´t find anything for me but found something for a family member and then went through my whole friend list. Found a lot of people a lot of money. It finally occurred to me the other day to check Colorado since I lived there for 3 years and I finally found some for me! 35$ 🙂
Janelle Vanbeber here you go!!
I found money!! Not much but it´s mine
I found $3.50 hehe…
Haven´ t looked lately, but the last time I looked, there was a $50 gift card for a restaurant that went bankrupt. Needless to say, I didn´t send in the claim.
i found $60 for me one day.
My husband had $40 to claim. Thanks for this info!
Cool I have some $ from a previous job. Say amount is undisclosed. Filed a claim so we will see what happens. 🙂
I did this last time and got $131.00 back from the Gas Company!
I didn’t have any luck but my hubby found $100, thanks for sharing!
None for my hubby, but I had a small check from my serving job in college! Woo Hoo
