Showing Original Post only (View all)How to find and claim missing money in your name: [View all]
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.
https://www.unclaimed.org/
http://www.missingmoney.com/
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.
Its 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 whats available.
Please note that not every single state participates. If you live in a state that doesnt participate with this free site, theres 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 youre 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 cant 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 PBGCs unclaimed pensions database to see if youre on the list of people owed benefits and what to do next.

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