Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to claim?
Yes. Official state and federal programs never charge a fee. Be wary of anyone asking for an upfront payment to 'release' your money — that's a scam.
How could I have unclaimed money?
Common sources include forgotten security deposits, final paychecks, refunds after a move, dormant bank accounts, and uncashed insurance or dividend checks.
Can I search for a deceased relative?
Yes — heirs can often claim a relative's unclaimed property with proof of identity and relationship.
