How this works: An organization tries to contact a citizen to pick up a certain money, and they don't within a certain time period, so since it's legally not their money they hand it over to "unclaimed property" departments in each state (could be a paycheck, stock dividends, money left over in an account, etc.)
 
How to possibly find monies or how I did it: find your state website on
https://unclaimed.org/search/
 
My state allows free searches, I thought I heard some people say they had to pay or something?
 
Look up people by last name (can be your last name, can look up friends and family and tell them, etc.)
 
If you find someone you know, let them know
 
I don't know how they file, I guess just follow instructions on site
 
then I assume they'll mail you a check?
 
My name did not come up but a few family members did, another acquaintance's daughter had a whole unclaimed paycheck, other people found some monies they didn't know about
 
could be an excuse to talk to random people you may know of as well, who doesn't like reclaiming "free money" that's theirs?
 
Good luck and let us know if you find anything

A while back, I did find someone I knew had an unclaimed rent deposit from years ago, but they were uninterested in claiming it.
