If you have five minutes you have time for this month’s task and we promise, you don’t want to miss this one. Every state maintains a website where you can search to see if there is unclaimed property in your name, and then claim it. That’s right; all you have to do is take a few minutes and you could have a check heading your way.

It could be refunds that were never sent to you, security deposits you’re owed, bank accounts you opened and forgot about, etc. It could be a couple bucks or it could be a lot more but its definitely worth finding your state’s website and searching for your name. If you’re one of the estimated 33 million people with unclaimed property you can claim your part of the estimated total of $70 billion in unclaimed assets. We have the simple instructions for how to find your share right here.
