I did a few years back and ended up getting a check for a couple hundred bucks

Thanks !!

Thanks Spankum ... was super easy for La. and Ga. - two former residences.
Filed the claim in less than a minute and the state confirmed shortly after. Check OTW

Great! I found a good bit of cash from when I attended LSU. That was 30 years ago!

I did a few years ago... told the wife to fill out the stuff because it was in her name. She bitched saying it's was only going to be a few bucks and was a headache getting the things notarized. A few weeks later..... $1900 check comes in.

I scroll through my family's states looking to see if they have anything and see some of the same random people with 20 separate payments waiting (some adding up to thousands) and feel with social media and technology now, I could find these people and let them know about the money and how to claim it and get a finder's fee somehow out of the deal. Always thought that would be a fun side hustle.
Found my in-laws on there but it shows "shares of stock". They said they didn't want to mess with it.

Pretty cool rabbit hole to go down. Just found out that my late mom is owed $220.

Woah. I'm owed a Lil jingle

I have been seeing money that I'm owed on there for the past 10 years, but the thing is they want me to prove and upload a utility bill from a certain month, with an address I haven't lived at for 20 years and a phone number that I don't remember so screw them.
They can keep the $75 I overpaid, that probably crossed in the mail in between moves.
Not worth my time anymore to file a claim and keep getting rejected because I didn't keep copies of my utilities from 20 years ago.

Just found and claimed $40 for my wife for what is probably a refunded copay from a lab she went to at least 10 years ago. Pretty neat!
Super easy to do in GA, thanks Spankum!

Similar issue with money owed to my late father. Because he died without a will they want an official copy of the death certificate and notarized statements from all of his surviving heirs. Just not worth it for about $200.
That said, I have found stuff of mine on there before that was relatively easy to claim. I guess it just depends on what type of unclaimed property you are claiming.

Yeah, I agree it depends on what the property is, I've even tried to claim property for my elderly parents, but they haven't kept records for that long either.
I mean I can provide the correct information on the address, the birthdays and the social security numbers, but it's still not good enough.
It's just how I feel, but to me it's not worth it to keep pursuing the issue.
