UNCLAIMED MONEY LIST ONLINE
The most asked question I get when people call me is “where do I find a central location to find my money” or “where can a find an unclaimed money list to enter my name and search all 50 states”.
The unfortunate answer when searching for unclaimed money and property is there is not a central database anywhere.
Yes, there are some websites who claim to search all 50 states, and I guess in theory they do, HOWEVER, these companies simply buy lists from the state and enter them into their tiny databases. This potentially leaves hundreds of thousands of claims not contained within their database. In other words, these databases are incomplete, so why waste your time. Right?
The truth is, each unclaimed money office has their own database for the state they serve. This means you MUST search each state individually. There is no other way around it!
Unfortunately, our government state offices for unclaimed money are so splintered they are not willing to work together to create a central database. It is thought that many states actually abuse these monies and dip into unclaimed funds to help balance their budgets.
Even worse, many more states are jumping on the unclaimed money bandwagon and starting to limit the amount of time you have to search or the state says you forfeit your unclaimed cash and the state can do whatever it chooses to do with it. It is my opinion this is criminal, but what more can one man do?
Unclaimed money lists for many states must be searched now to ensure you claim what is rightfully yours!
Just keep in mind, you need to search at least once per year. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE ADDED YEAR ROUND. So if you do not find a claim for yourself or a relative right away, do not fret, come back tomorrow and lady luck may just be on your side.

I am a fan of finding missing money!
I am not a fan of MissingMoney.com
Why?
They do not support all states, and they clearly do not show all claims that are possible to find even for those whicgh are listed. It says so right in their FAQ!
For those who do not like to read the small print, go directly to the source holding your missing money to ensure you find every stinkin’ possible claim for you and your family. Finding missing money owed to you is not rocket science, but you must be sure to search the correct sites or you may be leaving missing money on the table, or worse, get caught up in a website out to take your money rather than help you find it.
For an official listing of all 50 states missing money websites, see MissingMoney.Tv
If you are taken from the official website to MissingMoney.com, you are advised to CALL or WRITE the unclaimed money office of your state and ask if they have money being held in your name. For those states which redirect you to missingmoney.com, by all means search the site, but also call the missing money office to ensure they have searched all possible cliaims.

Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Georgia Unclaimed Money
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Georgia Unclaimed Money
By Russ D Johnson
A recent report by the Chattanooga Times announced that millions of dollars in Georgia lottery winnings go unclaimed in Georgia and Tennessee. Lottery officials say this is mostly due to people that buy lottery tickets while passing-through and either forget to check if they’ve won or not.
According to another news report though, a larger amount of Georgia unclaimed money is in the hands of the state’s Treasury Department. Hundreds of millions of dollars in forgotten funds are held by the state government and most Georgians are unaware of its existence. Catherine Westbrook, an elderly resident of the state was very aware though and became frustrated when she tried getting a $1200 check from an old life-insurance policy. “When I didn’t get it for two or three weeks, then I called and they would say, ‘No, the check wasn’t written, hasn’t been written’ — that’s all they would tell me.” said Westbrook who adds after getting the check 5 months after: “I don’t know why they take so long to write a check.”
Georgia’s Unclaimed Property Law or escheat law which originates from feudal laws in England require abandoned and forgotten assets such as bank accounts, income tax refunds, uncashed checks, uncollected wages, insurance premium overpayments, gift certificates, cash dividends on stocks and mineral deposits, and others to be turned-over to the hands of the state after a specified ‘dormancy period’. This period for Georgia is 5 years and less for other financial assets. “Dormant funds are remitted to the State of Georgia. Demand deposit accounts are deemed to be dormant after 12 months and time and savings accounts are deemed to be dormant after a period of five years without activity”, according to an official statement from Georgia’s State Treasury. In a press release from the Georgia Department of Revenue’s Unclaimed Property Unit, “The time that must elapse for property to be determined “abandoned” and turned over to the state varies depending on the type of property. For example, unclaimed wages and company liquidation proceeds must be turned over to the state after one year. The vast majority of unclaimed property must be turned over to the state five years after the last contact with the rightful owner. Time frames for other types of property are: safe deposit box contents must be forwarded to the state two years after the box was opened by the holding financial institution; money orders seven years after the issue date; and traveler’s checks 15 years from the issue date.”
The Georgia Revenue Commissioner has since tried to make some improvements with regards to the state department that handles missing money in Georgia, like replacing an old automated call center system with operators who can check the status of claims immediately. According to Tim Shields, a manager with the revenue department, “From the time the claim form comes in the door, if we have everything we need, within 8 to 10 weeks, that person’s going to receive a check,”.
Greg Daugherty, Executive Editor of Consumer Reports, said “When I entered my own information, I didn’t find anything belonging to me, but I did find some money belonging to a great aunt of mine who has since died, and would have left it to me.” Greg isn’t alone, which is why enlisting the help of an unclaimed money expert is of the utmost importance.

West Virginia Unclaimed Money
November 5, 2008 3 Comments
The Mountain State has a mountain of residents’ lost money sitting in its Treasury Department. During these times of financial chaos when multitudes of Americans are hard-up for extra funds, it’s quite ironic that it’s there. But the $110 million unclaimed money in West Virginia even stands to grow for the same reason it got there in the first place- most West Virginians (and Americans for that matter) are oblivious about their missing money.
Given the recent hurricanes, mortgages, floods and ever-increasing pace in which we live our lives, losing track of our finances is quite normal. When people have to abandon their homes in a hurry or move to ‘greener pastures’, it’s easy to forget about leaving a notice of a change of address, getting that final paycheck, or closing-up a bank account. WV unclaimed property can come from many sources, but interestingly enough, it’s due to oversight. “They may have a paycheck coming to them that they didn’t realize or some stock their grandparents purchased when they were a child and it was forgotten in a safety deposit box,”‘ State Treasurer Russ Perdue says. “There are all kinds of unclaimed property examples where money was forgotten.” This oversight of assets has been happening across the US actually and the collective amount spread-out among the States already exceeds $30 billion.
In a recent report on The Charleston Gazette, an unclaimed money check for almost a million dollars was presented to local coal company from Appalachian Power. Approximately $965,000 was presented to a lawyer representing Direct Coal Sales stemming from a refund based on a business contract. The check was the largest yet for West Virginia unclaimed money says Assistant State Treasurer Paul Hill in the report.
Anybody’s name can turn-up on a list of of owners of lost assets. Doing an online search for state unclaimed money might just hook you up with much needed cash.
