Why Would You Have Unclaimed Property?



  
If you retired, worked part-time, were reassigned, or laid off, you may not have received all of your wages.

  
If you discontinued payments on an insurance policy, you could be entitled to a refund or payment of a matured policy.

  
If you discovered uncashed business checks that were issued three years ago or more, you may have those checks in the drawer, or never received them at all.

  
If you've ever thrown away your mail without reading it, a company may have been trying to verify or confirm contact with you.

  
If you failed to pay the rental fee on a safe deposit box for three years in a row, your account will be classified as unclaimed property.

  
If you've forgotten to make a deposit or withdrawal from your checking or savings account for years, that money will be classified as unclaimed property.

  
If you've moved and failed to give your forwarding addresses to the organizations that you do business with, they may no longer know how to contact you.

  
If you never received a utility deposit, account overpayment, or an early-out payment.

  
If you tried to settle a family member's estate.

  
If your dividend, royalty payments, statements, or other correspondence from a company stopped.
