If that isn’t enough to entice you, you should know that the average claim is $2,900, and with the ease of claiming your funds from accounts YOU opened, or from other assets, this is the 100 percent free and safe way to reclaim what’s yours. Half would go into savings/investments/whatever my financial advisor suggests, and the rest would go to paying off the mortgage, student loans, setting up college funds, and traveling.

Can you imagine finding that you’ve got that much money in unclaimed assets? I can just imagine what I would do with it.

I was very surprised to read that the largest claim was $2.2 million in 2015. After finding all of the places that I’ve lived and names that I’ve had, I printed out my form, signed the paperwork to authenticate who I am, and then sent off for my cash. After verification, the checks come in about four weeks.īecause I’m married, I made sure to use both variations of my name, and if you’re searching, I would suggest you use both variations of yours if you are or have been married before. If your claim from each account is under $100 you can usually see the exact amount, but if it’s over $100 you won’t see that amount until you verify who you are. All of my claims totaled a bit over $400, but it’s $400 closer than I was before checking the site. Most were from areas that I lived in during undergrad, and bank accounts that I forgot to close after my sister passed away because my brain cells were relegated to freaking out.

I still have a bit of a way to go, but what I discovered was a nice start for the purchase! I put my name, and zip codes that I have lived in (between college and moving as a young lady, I’ve had quite a bit) and up popped several links to accounts that I had actually forgotten about. This year, I decided to be a bit selfish, and apply what I’ve had sitting around to purchasing a new camera body for myself. If you live in Illinois, or have ever lived in Illinois, then you should REALLY head over to the Illinois Treasurer’s site to start the process of claiming your money! I signed on last month, and was pleasantly surprised to pick up a bit of extra cash for the holiday. With just a simple click of your mouse, and entry of your name and zip code, you could very well be on your way to claiming money that you have long forgotten about. Have you ever been doing laundry or cleaning out pockets or purses and found a folded up twenty-dollar bill, or better yet, a fifty? If not, you keep track of money way better than I do, and maybe what I’m about to tell you won’t excite you as much as it should. I’d like to thank the Illinois Treasure’s Office for sponsoring the conversation on money, and recovering lost funds on the blog today.
