States Help Track Unclaimed Property

American Forces Information Service

     Utility refunds, forgotten savings accounts, unused gift
certificates and more -- about $8 billion worth -- are waiting for
someone to claim them.
     When a state government takes over a savings account, life
insurance policy or any other monetary fund, it is still possible
to reclaim the money or other type of property.  States, plus the
District of Columbia, will assist individuals in locating and
collecting lost, misplaced or forgotten assets.
     Accounts, inheritances and other assets become state property
for many reasons.  These include not leaving a correct forwarding
address, losing track of savings and checking accounts, not
collecting utility refunds, heirs not being able to locate all the
property and uncashed checks, money orders and gift certificates.
     State rules vary.  For example, some will pay interest on
certain accounts, while others will confiscate the money after a
certain period.  Most states have no time limit.
     For more information or to check on possible lost accounts,
write the appropriate state office.  Use full name -- including
maiden name -- Social Security number, all addresses in the state
and any pertinent information, including account numbers, in the
request.
