Do You Have Unclaimed Funds? Search Here!by Julie Gentry | More from this Blogger No, I'm not going to offer to search for you for "only" $29.95. Most states' treasury offices have a database that you can search for free. Last year we found $300 from some insurance rebate of years past. It took filling out a couple of pages of information, and sending a credit card bill that had our old California address. It was so nice to get that check because it wasn't in the budget. It was "free" money. I just checked and see that my grandmother has $78 coming to her, too. I'm sure she'll be very happy. It may not seem like a lot, but when it's found money, it's a great surprise! To check and see if you have any unclaimed funds, click on your state's link. Most have a simple database search. If you find your name with an address that's familiar to you, download the paperwork. Instructions should be on the page. Usually, it entails proving you're who you say you are (copy of a driver's license) and proving that you lived at that address. If you don't have an old bill from the address, many times your electric or credit card company can make a copy. Now remember, I charge a 10% commission. (Just kidding, of course!)
