STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? Let's clear things up What is Unclaimed Property? Unclaimed Property is any fnancial asset (not including land or real estate) that has gone without customer-generated activity for an extended period of time. Examples include: » Savings and checking accounts » Unpaid wages or commissions » Uncashed insurance proceeds » Stocks, underlying shares or uncashed dividends » Customer deposits or overpayments » Certifcates of deposit » Credit balances and refunds » Money orders » Life insurance policies » Uncashed beneft checks » Accounts payable checks Is this going to cost me money? No, this is a public service provided for FREE by the Ofce of the State Treasurer. There is no time limit to fle a claim, and all funds earn interest until claimed. Why does the state have my money in the frst place? Property becomes unclaimed when the asset holder is unable to contact the asset owner for three years (or ffteen years for traveler's checks). The law requires business entities and others to review and turn over all unclaimed assets in their possession to the State on an annual basis. So... What's the catch?
