does california owe you money?
Click here and see if California owes you money. If you’ve ever lived there I highly suggest the click. Turns out I’m owed 60 bills and both my brothers somewhere around 75 each.
This is the email my wife Michelle sent out to our family members last week:
All,
Some of you don’t get emails from me very often, but I felt compelled to
inform as many people as possible of something that may be of benefit to you
or someone you know. Some of you may already be familiar with this.
Just for giggles the other day I decided to check a website where one can
search for unclaimed property that may belong to them and is currently being
held in some State treasury account. This is the link:
http://www.unclaimed.org/mainframe.asp?VisitorType=owner/
It’s the website for the National Association of Unclaimed Property
Administrators, and unlike some sites it’s totally free to do a search and
you can search all 50 states very easily. Unfortunately I didn’t find any
unclaimed money for myself in any of the 5 states I have at one time or
another called home, but I did find money belonging to my: father, husband,
grandmother, niece, two brothers in law (Sam & Chis), and father in law.
Now, before you go thinking that it might be odd to check on other people in
this respect, those of you who know me, know I’m one of the chintziest
people on the planet and the idea that the government is holding on to money
that rightfully belongs to somebody else gives me the hives. So, in the
spirit of giving, I need to tell you to go get your money!! The claim
process seems to be pretty easy as well, fill out a form and mail it into
the appropriate state treasurer or controller’s office. All the information
is on the website.
Be careful also, because there apparently are people out there that charge
you for finding your money. Don’t pay anybody to find something you can find
for free.
Good luck and Happy Holidays!
