What is Unclaimed Property?
According to the NC Department of Treasury, unclaimed property consists of bank accounts, wages, utility deposits, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, bonds, and contents of safe deposit boxes that typically have been abandoned for one to five years. Funds become unclaimed because the company loses track of the consumer, due to an incorrect address or other missing information. By law, these funds are escheated, or turned over, to the Department of State Treasurer for safekeeping. As new funds are added, the NC Cash database is updated, which means that your name could be listed right now.
Once on the site, you enter your name or business name along with your city and zip code and it will put up a list. If you see your name or business on the list then you can file a claim to get your money. Make sure to check under different names you may go by including maiden names or misspellings.
And it’s that easy. The state of North Carolina will then return the assets you are owed so essentially it’s free money. Unfortunately, I checked and don’t get anything, but hey it was worth trying!
