Unclaimed Funds

Does the government owe you unclaimed funds? More than likely!!! Did you know that the government is sitting on BILLIONS of dollars, just waiting for you to claim your share? In fact it's been estimated that 9 out of 10 people are actually due some type of claim! Just imagine that in Alabama, there is already a whopping $373 million waiting to be reunited with its rightful owners and only a measley $23 million of that has been returned. Over $700 million is in the North Carolina Treasurer's hands and a whopping $8 billion is with the state of New York! I can go on, but fact is there are unclaimed funds waiting to be claimed everywhere across the country.

Unclaimed funds can come from lost assets like lost checks, abandoned bank accounts, income tax refunds, insurance policies, retirement benefits, even safe deposit box contents. These are turned over to the state after a 'dormancy period' where they stay until claimed.

Now, knowing that you may be entitled to unclaimed money and actually claiming your funds, are two different things, and the latter isn't always as easy as it sounds.

Did you know that there is no "national unclaimed funds database"? Yeah I know, some sites claim to have one, but they are NOT telling you the truth. Not only that, but many of these sites will charge you on a "per search" basis, and even require you to pay "finders fees" just to get money that already belongs to you!

Another mistake many people make is believing the myth that all unclaimed asset resources are online. Russ Johnson has been involved in the unclaimed funds game for over a decade and can show you that this simply isn't the case. Yes, there are many excellent resources for tracking down your unclaimed property, but if you rely solely on them, there's a good chance you're missing out on collecting some found money.
