Most of you have heard of this and already checked into it, but for those of you who haven't, I wanted to tell you a little about the National Association of Unclaimed Money Administrators.
In 2006 it was projected that a total of at least $32.877 billion is currently being safeguarded by state treasurers and other agencies for 117 million accounts.
Go to Unclaimed.org click on the state or states that you or your family have lived and it will take you to the Treasurers department for that state. All you have to do is then enter your name into the database to see if there are funds waiting for you. You will need to send in additional information to claim the money and it typically takes up to 90 days to collect.
I hope you find something! I found some unclaimed money in my husband's name...was $15, not much, but something! We found money in my grandpa's name through this a couple of years back - it was a HEFTY amount that my dad was able to share with his siblings! It's definitely worth checking out!
