How to find and claim missing money in your name:

[Madam45for2923]

I have used these sites the last two years and both times found & got "missing" money for my family from different states. You get the whole amount.

Ways to find unclaimed money in your name

1. Unclaimed funds

Unclaimed money from bank accounts, insurance policies, rental and utility deposits, safe deposit boxes and other places could be hanging out there somewhere in your name. All you need to know is how to check and collect it without paying any fees.

It’s particularly easy if you have a unique last name. Simply go to MissingMoney.com and punch in your name to do a database search of available unclaimed funds across all states. With one click of your mouse, you can cover the entire spectrum of what’s available.

Please note that not every single state participates. If you live in a state that doesn’t participate with this free site, there’s one more option for you: Unclaimed.org. This website is a clearinghouse for the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.

Also, if you ever had an FHA home loan, HUD may be sitting on refund money for you. Go to HUD.gov and see if you’re in their refund database.



2. Former pension plan

Millions of dollars in pension benefits go unclaimed, usually after companies go out of business or close their plans. When this happens, if the company can’t find you, your pension money goes to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., a government agency that protects retirement income. If you think you may have an unclaimed former pension plan, check the PBGC’s unclaimed pensions database to see if you’re on the list of people owed benefits and what to do next.

1. I did this a few years ago and got almost $200.

The way my insurance company worked for dental benefits was screwy - they'd send me a check that I was supposed to take to the dentist and a couple just fell through the cracks. I'd already paid the dentist long before, so I was glad to get the money back.

7. My dad still had some money in an account held in his name by his employer.

It was less than $10. I already received a bequest from his estate a year or so after he died. No need to pursue this claim...

12. I got a nice chunk from Florida escrow.

I'll check yours from home tonight. Thanks.

14. Even if you think you know all your accounts, check for unclaimed funds

I had a number of rebates that I never received and it turned out that Florida requires the companies to put that money into the unclaimed funds account. I ended up finding over $200 in rebates I had given up on!

[Madam45for2923]

16. Yep, some of the money we received surprised us; we still don't know where it came from.

17. Thank you for the links! Jackpot!

I found over $600 from several insurance companies. They must be really old refunds because I don't remember any claims.

[Madam45for2923]

18. woah! Awesome! I guarantee you'll get it sooner than you expect. LOL! Let me know, plz!

19. States rack in huge amounts of money, by way of their escheat operations.

All those old savings & loan accounts, unclaimed oil & gas royalties, etc. really add up to some substantial money, over the years. Might as well see if you have any coming to you, before it's gone as a result of time limitations.

[Madam45for2923]

20. Yep! this: Might as well see if you have any coming to you,

Especially since it is so easy. You claim your money and it comes in the mail in no time.
