Don’t miss out on unclaimed missing money!💰

person counting money

According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, states return about $4 billion in unclaimed money every year from onlinepanies that cannot locate the owners.

About 1 in every 7 Americans has “unclaimed money,” and some of it could be yours! Unclaimed money could include funds from past employers, utility onlinepanies, stocks, mutual funds, safe deposit box contents, uncashed checks, insurance policies, and more.

Follow these steps to search for unclaimed money:

  • Visit Unclaimed.org and scroll down to select your state. Or visit the Unclaimed Money directory on USA.gov.
  • Follow the instructions to search for unclaimed funds from your state.
  • If you find a match, onlineplete a claim form. Most states and provinces require a specific form to be onlinepleted.
  • Follow the instructions to onlineplete the specified form. You may need to supply additional documentation for verification.
  • The claim form and ID are then mailed to the state for review. The state will respond to you directly after they have reviewed your submission and verified that you are the rightful owner.
  • Most states send you an acknowledgment letter after receiving your claim. Claims processing timelines vary based on claim activity in your state.

HIP TIP: Unclaimed property is reported to the state in which the onlinepany or organization resides. It’s not unonlinemon to have unclaimed money in multiple states, especially if you have moved around to different locations!

Missing Money Check

Check out onlinements from Hip2Save readers who discovered missing money thanks to this post!

Thanks for the reminder! I hadn’t checked in about 6-7 years. We had 3 claims totaling $425 and my sister had one for $2,908! – Hip reader, Erin


I checked this link last year when you posted and was able to find …. $50,000! My grandmother had it left in her bank account when she passed away 5 years ago. The site only said “ more than $250” 😆. It was quite a surprise and her 4 children were very happy as it was missed in her estate! It did take almost a year to get it all settled, but thanks so much for posting this.– Hip reader, Ben


I check this every time you post this and find money for friends and family. I then tell them where and how to apply for the funds. I’ve found almost $10,000 in total!!!! For me, $0.00! I did this once at my family reunion’s banquet. I had people pull out their cell phones and look it up immediately. We had almost 25% of the room with missing, now found money.

Keep checking back. I do it every few months because the information changes regularly. – Hip reader, Sonya


I just received a check for almost $700!!! I also found money for my mom and dad!!! This is very valuable information. I wanted to say thanks a million! – Hip reader, Jackie


I had 2 unclaimed payments totalling $68 that I received payment for after I checked the site last year. That’s not a ton of money, but every extra $ helps! – Hip Sidekick, Misty

    Not through your link, but I did this last December and I found $1,000 I had from an old bank account from 20 years ago. I was working in tech at the time and the internet was just starting to do a bunch of online banks and I had gotten one, but I didn’t keep all the info and couldn’t remember which bank (a lot went out of business) and how to log in. They had it sitting there for me collecting interest.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Wow, N! πŸŽ‰ What an awesome surprise to stumble upon $1,000 after all those years! πŸ™Œ So glad it was still there (with interest, too)! πŸ’°πŸ˜Š

    I checked the last time you posted this and found $1200 for my husband, about a hundred for one sister-in-law, and almost $200 for my other sister-in-law. Thank you!!
