ve lived at my current address for many years. Why does the state have my money?
Holders are required by law to make an effort to contact owners if they believe the property is unclaimed. (This usually occurs when there has been no owner activity or contact after a certain period time, generally three years.) There are many reasons why this communication fails – an incomplete address, a lost piece of correspondence, an error in the holder’s records are all typical examples. In addition, if the property value is less than $100, the reporting company is not required to notify owners before reporting it as unclaimed. I know I have unclaimed property, but I checked the owner search and I do not see my name. If your property was recently reported, we may still be processing it. We update the database each week, so please check back regularly. If you prefer, you may submit an owner inquiry form and we will match it up once the information has been processed.
