Wads of Cash

USA Today reports $41.7 billion in private assets are waiting to be claimed by their owners.

These include things like dormant bank accounts, stock splits, uncashed payroll checks, gift cards, life insurance payouts, and more.

Most of this is a result of moving and not forwarding mail to a new address. When the rightful owner can’t be found, the state impounds these assets. The good news is, there’s a website that can help you discover what you may have waiting for you. It’s called MissingMoney.

I tried it myself. It’s easy… and I already discovered I have at least one lost asset waiting for me. The site also helps you submit the appropriate claim forms to the particular state holding your assets.
