Get Extra Cash From A Free Unclaimed Money Search

At the fast pace we’re living our lives now, it’s quite easy for folks to lose some of their finances through oversight. Forgetting about the last paycheck when switching to a new job, neglecting to leave behind a forwarding address when moving to a new home, getting married and starting a new life- these might all account for the estimated $33 billion total collected by the Bureau of Unclaimed Money in each State.

National escheat laws require businesses and institutions to turn over unclaimed money belonging to citizens and even Federal government unclaimed money over to the State Treasury. Here the lost money stays indefinitely until claimed by the rightful owners.

It’s possible to go about claiming unclaimed money free- all that’s needed is an internet connection and knowledge on how to properly search for unclaimed money for free. Going about trying to find free unclaimed money without knowing where, when, and how to go about searching can result in a bit of frustration and maybe even loss of a big chunk of your portion of the billions US Treasury unclaimed money pile. There are numerous scam sites and unclaimedmoney ‘finders’ that offer to help you find your claim for free, but in reality they’re just out to bait people gullible enough to fall for their scheme.

Learning how to find unclaimed government money on your own can do wonders for your wallet (or your friends’) as average claims are for $100 or more. Kelly Jensen, Clerk for Park County, Wyoming says - “You might not think you’re on the list, but it’s worth checking.” adding  “It really bugs me that it’s just sitting there, and I know for a lot of people, even $100 would be a pretty big deal.”

Knowing one’s way around the maze of free unclaimedmoney websites can even let you be a professional finder yourself- helping out people for fun and a bit of profit. If you have net connection and a bit of weekend time on your hands, there’s really nothing to lose.
