Free Money Here

Well, not quite. Many people have unclaimed insurance proceeds, abandoned safe deposit boxes, and other monies that were undeliverable and are now in control of the states. This is the 21st century, adult version of looking for change in pay phones.

For most of the states, go to missingmoney.com. This is a service paid for by the states and there is no charge if your money is listed there.

California is among the states that does not subscribe to that site. For California, go to the Department of Revenue at http://scoweb.sco.ca.gov/UCP/.

Good luck finding money you forgot or didn't know was there.

I actually had an agency contact me and told me I had checks from 2 years back that got turned over to the state. This is when I was working in California because I started graduate school in Rhode Island.

I found $600 bucks owed to me by the state of Mass. Problem was after I claimed it the town I lived in hit for for an old unpaid care registration tax for $300. Hounded me weekly until I paid even though we had moved. Because I had not filed a change of address with the city they said I had to pay even though I had not lived there during the period in question.

No money for me!!! That sucks!!!

There are people that make money by doing this. Find money for people, get them to sign a power of attorney to you giving you the right to claim th emoney, and then you keep a percentage of the money.

Hard work for sure, but essentially you do all the legwork for someone that doesn't even know they have money owed to them and get paid for it.

i did a look up a few years ago and there was $1500 in escrow from the first house we ever bought. I would never had known if one of those companies that claims to get the money for you hadn't sent me a letter. Their fee? $500!

 

[Angry Bill]

Try going to the New York state website (or the same for any other state) and then to the Department of Revenue, or search for "Unclaimed Property."
