Unclaimed-Funds.com

I was searching the internet recently for the latest news and an article on modern day treasure hunters caught my eye. It appears that for some Americans who have metal detectors, looking for treasure in the FL Keys has turned in to more than a hobby and has made some serious money. Rusted antiques and occasionally gold and silver bullion from sunken Spanish galleons are just some of the finds. Very interesting news.

Burried treasures aren’t the only riches available for citizens hoping to go on a hunt for treasure though. After reading the article on treasure hunting scuba divers, I saw another news post about Alabama unclaimed money, stating that the state treasurer has recently given away as much as $23 million of it to the state’s residents in just one year’s time. Well really, the phrase ‘given away’ is kind of not accurate - ‘given back’ is the better verb to use as the Ala. missing money actually belonged to the people that received it in the first place. The large value of these assets given back may be due to the State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Money Program that attempts to heighten the awareness of residents about abandoned cash. Lists of the names of the owners of these funds are placed in public places like state fairs and shopping malls. Booths are also set up by employees of the Ala. Treasury Department’s Unclaimed Money Div. in these public places - providing free help in doing an Ala. search.

When residents relocate or find new jobs, they often lost track of assets such as stock dividends, uncollected salary checks, income tax refunds, etc. by not leaving a proper forwarding address. People also pass away without leaving a will and their assets are supposed to be given to their closest living relative who sometimes can’t be located due to a change of address or name. Items from contents of forgotten safe deposit boxes are also deemed unclaimed property under Ala. law. These items are passed along to the state after a ‘dormancy period’, which varies state to state. The dormancy period for unclaimed property in Ala. is five years for most types of financial assets and 1 year for salary checks. Items forgotten in safe deposit boxes are passed along to the state and are auctioned off to the public and the money is returned to the state treasurer’s office where it can still be claimed by the true owners at any time in the future.

According to Kay Ivey, Alabama State Treasurer, “We’ve still got $373 million that belongs to people in every nook and cranny in Alabama,” and she adds “Go online or call us, and if you find your name and you can prove you are who you say you are, my staff and I would love to send you a check.”

According to experts 70% of Americans are due a portion of the more than 35 billion dollars in unclaimed property, which is currently held by the individual Treasury Departments across the country in all 50 states. A citizen can have abandoned assets in several states if he or she has relocated a lot or if they have several relatives across the country. It’s important to do a thorough money search to keep from missing out on your lost cash.

I’m always shocked to learn that there are people out there who are still skeptical about unclaimed property. I guess it’s just tough for some to image that there are literally BILLIONS OF DOLLARS just waiting to be found and claimed by people, just like YOU!

For those of you who remain skeptics about unclaimed money, let this week’s unclaimed funds story from the Birmingham Business Journal be a smoking gun for you:

Alabama’s treasury department reported Tuesday that a record $23 million has been paid out in unclaimed property so far this year - and another $373 million is still available for collection.

(Emphasis mine. Read the rest here)

That translates to $396 million, of which only $23 million has been collected!!! What are you Alabamans waiting for!? Wouldn’t you rather have that found money than let the government hold on to it? I mean, sure it’s exciting, picturing your money sitting on paper in a file in some state office… but wouldn’t a vacation or paid bills be just a little more exciting?

I always tell people that they need to stop giving up on their unclaimedproperty search so easily, when an online search from some internet site turns up no records or bogus records intended to make people chase their tails.

The fact that OVER 94% of the unclaimed money in Alabama still not been claimed proves my point - people don’t know how to search. UnclaimedMoney.net teaches you search strategies and points you towards resources that the other sites won’t.

Did you know searching online won’t cover all of your bases? Did you know there is unclaimed money out there that hasn’t been turned over to the state yet, and thus no record exists in the state databases? These challenges can be overcome with UnclaimedMoney.net’s help.

As for anyone living in AL, I suggest you get moving on searching for and claiming all that Alabama Unclaimed Money. Your state is sitting on heap of cash, and there’s a good chance some of it is yours!
