Search for unclaimed money and property in states where you have lived.

Check for unclaimed funds from bank failures or unclaimed deposits from credit union closures.

Check for unclaimed back wages, pension money, or life insurance funds.

Search for unclaimed or undelivered tax refunds. Or, search for a refund from an FHA-insured mortgage.

Don't fall for scams from people who pretend to be from the government. Never respond to offers that include sending you unclaimed money for a fee. Government agencies will not call you about unclaimed money or assets.
