    Unclaimed Money

    Does the US government have my money?

    Locate Unclaimed MoneyMost of finding your unclaimed doing searches in the individual states.

    Every state keeps it's on pool of money from residents and onetime residents and most money is considered "lost" because of improper addressing information.

    *That does not mean that the US Government itself does not have pools of money waiting for you.

    One of the main pots of money the government is holding for it's citizens is unclaimed bonds.

    Right now the US Government is holding over 17 Billion dollars in unclaimed matured savings bonds. If you have ever been a recipient of savings bonds it is easy to do a quick search of the treasury database.

    You should check:

    1. Every state you have lived
    2. Every state where a deceased close relative has lived

    Even checking all 50 states (not needed) really does not take that long.

    Pretty simple, huh?
