Your checklist
Your official places to search.
Found something?
Check it's really you: your name plus an address you've lived at. Then file the claim on that official site. Have photo ID, your Social Security number and proof of the old address ready. Some states pay small claims online quickly; others take longer and may ask for more documents.
Found nothing?
That's a normal result. New money is reported to states regularly, so it's worth searching again once a year.
Fair questions.
Is this really free?
Yes. Searching and claiming through state unclaimed property offices and the federal agencies listed here costs nothing. This page is free too. We don't sell your answers and don't see them.
Why do some companies charge to find unclaimed money?
"Finder" firms run the same public searches you can run here, then take a cut of whatever they recover. You can skip them: search the official sites yourself and file the claim directly.
Will I definitely find money?
No. Many people find nothing, and nobody can promise an amount. The point of the list is that you check every official place that fits your history, so nothing is missed.
Where do these links come from?
State links come from the official state directory on MissingMoney.com, which is run by the National Association of State Treasurers. Federal links go straight to the agency. We checked every link on the date shown under your checklist. If one has moved, search for "[state] unclaimed property" and use the result ending in .gov.
