Often property records will reside with County or City Agencies and won't be available at the State level. It's best to inquire locally about what unclaimed property records may be available in your home town.Granthttp://www.gofreegovernmentmoney.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728620799073621079.post-83276364044184929102013-11-18T18:26:42.890-08:002013-11-18T18:26:42.890-08:00I just checked this and four $33 for my husband. :...I just checked this and four $33 for my husband. :) None for me, but we also found some for a friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728620799073621079.post-58521087144513042352013-10-27T14:29:10.992-07:002013-10-27T14:29:10.992-07:00I checked these sites and found no money for me bu...I checked these sites and found no money for me but my husband had about $600.

I stumbled upon it...I have to say I LOVE your site! I stumbled upon it through recipe searches on Pinterest a few days ago. My first recipe was pizza crust & sauce. I did a calzone instead of pizza...my family RAVED about it! I felt so accomplished, especially because of the savings! So last night I did cinnamon rolls, they are already gone today, and I only had a small bite because I'm off gluten (whew, otherwise I'd have eaten them all--DELISH!!!). Trying the scones next, good ol' comfort food from my childhood (good thing I'm off gluten & will have a bite or two lol) Anyway...all this to say THANKS! <br />I'm posting on the "unclaimed" section of your site because, while I heard of that tip before, I checked, brace yourself: $486! Yes, almost $500 was waiting for me! So yes, keep checking people! Because it all adds up. I had even checked the old credit union that owed me, and they told me I had nothing in my CD (because they had already sent it to unclaimed funds and never told me!) This is a great reminder to check again. PS: to make this post even longer... I found $180 for my husband, $1500 for my brother, plus a few hundred more for other family members! Thanks again!

It takes you to a color-coded map. Green states participate, blue do not. So if you had money in a blue state and you searched on missingmoney.com, it wouldn't show up. That's why I always refer people to unclaimed.org that this post started out with.<br />There's a bonus on both sites that most people overlook. Up at the top there is an orange tab that links to Other Sources for Unclaimed Property. Click on it and it will take you to federal sites (federal money is not on the state sites) including the IRS for refunds that never came, the Treasury for savings bonds (about $16 billion of them), forgotten pensions ($300 million including a single listing for more than $700,000!) It also provides links to a few international listings.<br />Never pay for an online search! If you're on a site that says you have to pay or offers a "free" membership for a month, you are on the wrong site!!<br />I hope this was helpful.

I've had several people message me that they tried it and found money owed them. Needless to say, they were pretty excited.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931350240548374803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728620799073621079.post-9165609421519190702013-05-23T17:55:56.146-07:002013-05-23T17:55:56.146-07:00Awesome story!

I think the site is pretty much like the one you talked about except that it checks all states at once when you search.<br /><br />I never thought of posting about it on my blog but that is a great idea. If you are like me it drives you nuts thinking about all that money that people could be claiming! :)Lydiahttp://www.parents.com/blogs/thrifty-frugal-mom/noreply@blogger.com
