Finding unclaimed property on the web

[Guest Nautical]

All you have to do is type in "Unclaimed property (and the state name)" (Google works great) Several links will be pulled up. I usually click on anything that has .gov in the address. Than I do a search with the states database for free. You will be amazed at how much money is sitting out there. I found out in 1990 I didn't cash a pay check. I moved around so I checked several different state websites. This is also great for looking up deceased relatives unclaimed property. Lousiana, New York, and Texas have very useful Unclaimed Property websites. And of course always check PBGC website to see if you have a pension sitting out there or contact social security. Social Security has a record of pensions that you did not immediately take in the year you terminated from an employer.
