How Unclaimed Property Works

Company Reports

Banks, insurers, and businesses report dormant accounts to the state after a set period of inactivity.

State Holds Funds

The state treasurer or comptroller holds the funds as custodian until the rightful owner is found.

You Search

Search your name on each state's portal where you've lived, worked, or done business.

Claim for Free

File a claim with the state. It's always free — never pay a "finder" to claim your own property.

Important: Searching for and claiming unclaimed property is always free through official state programs. Never pay a fee to search for unclaimed property. Be cautious of third-party services that charge fees.
